Scholarship List

There are many scholarships available to students at UIC. The following is a list of scholarships that you may want to apply for:

  • The University Scholarship
  • The Gold Star Student Award
  • The Chicago Scholars Program (CSP)

To be eligible for any of these awards, you must meet specific requirements and application deadlines. For example, applicants must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher on their previous academic record and be enrolled full-time in an undergraduate degree program at UIC during the upcoming academic year. Additionally, most awards require completing some essay or personal statement as part of the application process; therefore, it is recommended that applicants begin working on these materials early so they can submit them by the stated deadline date(s).

Application for the University of Illinois Chicago Scholarship

The application process is simple and easy. Fill out the online application form here (https://www.cognitoforms.com/UICScholarship) to apply. The deadline for applications is March 1 of each year; however, early submission is highly recommended as our funding from donors has been limited in recent years, so we cannot guarantee that all applicants will receive money if they submit their applications after the deadline date has passed.

  • Be enrolled as a full-time student at any accredited college or university within the United States or Puerto Rico during your junior year (for high school seniors) or senior year (for current college/university students).
  • Have completed one semester before applying with a GPA above 3.0 on a 4-point scale (or equivalent), preferably with majors related directly to science research fields such as biology/medicine, etc….
