National and International Scholarships Program
Our program administers a variety of nationally competitive awards for University of Illinois students and alumni. Opportunities include graduate and postgraduate study, research, and teaching abroad, as well as undergraduate study abroad. We provide advice and feedback for candidates throughout the application process.
We can help you unlock your potential, learn about yourself, and become more competitive for scholarships. Interested persons -- from freshmen, to Ph.D. candidates, to recent alumni -- are encouraged to make an appointment to discuss these opportunities.
In addition, our office publishes a newsletter each semester. We look forward to hearing from you!
