The University Scholarship Program is one of the most prestigious scholarship programs available to new freshmen. University Scholars receive a $5,000 annual award, renewable for up to eight semesters, for a potential value of $20,000.
Recent University Scholars have earned a grade point average of 3.75 or greater and have ACT scores of 24 and higher. Academically talented new freshmen from traditionally underrepresented groups or first-generation college students facing the tough challenges of acquiring a college education are eligible to apply.
Students applying for, but not awarded the University Scholarship are considered for other merit-based awards for which they may qualify.
Your application for admission submitted during the priority filing period (September 1 through November 15) will be used to determine eligibility for these scholarships. Once you have been admitted to the University, students who meet the minimum qualifications will be invited to apply online for scholarship consideration. For more information please contact the Office of Admissions by email at or by phone at (309) 438-2181 or toll free at (800) 366-2478.
The application deadline for this scholarship is Friday, January 11.
