Aaron Chait and Lindsie Miller

Abe Chait graduated from NIU in 1970 and was a loyal Huskie supporter until the time of his death. On most fall Saturdays over the past 40 years, he could be found surrounded by family and proud NIU alumni and friends either tailgating at home football games or following the team on the road. Abe’s Huskie friends, and the memories they made, emriched his life greatly.
Abe’s wife passed away when his two children were preteens, and his family is establishing this scholarship in his name to assist students who have persevered through a challenging time in their lives.
