    The National and International Scholarships Program is here to assist you through the application process.  For Juniors, Seniors and Graduate/Professional students, now is the time to start your applications.  To find out what you should be doing to meet the June 1 priority application deadline (for study beginning in fall, 2018), come to an informational meeting at one of the following eight times:

    Tuesday, March 28: 1:30 - 2:00, 2:00 - 2:30, 3:30 - 4:00, or 4:00 - 4:30

    Wednesday, March 29: 1:30 - 2:00, 2:00 - 2:30, 3:30 - 4:00 or 4:00 - 4:30

     

    All sessions will be held in room 514, 807 S. Wright St. at the Campus Center for Advising and Academic Services.  This conference room is on the 5th Floor of the Illinois Union Bookstore Bld.  Enter in the NE door and take the elevator.

     

    Topics to be covered include information about the Churchill, Fulbright, Gates Cambridge, George Mitchell, Luce Scholars, Marshall, Rhodes, and Schwarzman programs and how to apply for these international opportunities.

    **Note: If you are currently planning to graduate after August 2018 and received this message due to a high number of advanced credits, please attend one of the following sessions meant for first and second year undergraduates instead focused on how to prepare yourself for these opportunities.  (Believe it or not, it is time to start planning for these applications.)  To find out what you should be doing to strengthen your candidacy, come to an informational meeting at the same location at one of the following times:

     

    For First-years and Sophomores (graduating after August, 2018):
