Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI)

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Indiana State University offers enriching, non-credit education programs for adults 50 and older. With the motto “Curiosity Never Retires,” OLLI brings together nearly 500 members each year who share a passion for learning, connection, and community.

Although OLLI is supported by the Bernard Osher Foundation and modest membership and course fees, these funds only cover basic operating costs. To grow, innovate, and continue offering exceptional programs, OLLI relies on charitable giving from supporters and friends.

Gifts to this crowdfunding initiative will support investments in facilities and technology upgrades, help provide scholarships for members with financial need, and expand public awareness through strategic advertising. These enhancements will strengthen the learning experience and ensure OLLI remains accessible, modern, and vibrant.

Money raised will also help OLLI showcase Indiana State’s faculty, who teach many of our courses and help connect the community to the university. 

Your support helps elevate OLLI’s visibility, enrich lifelong learning in the Wabash Valley, and build a stronger foundation for future growth.
