Presidential Scholarship and Educational Initiative for Community College Students
Inspired by a series of conversations with Chancellor Cheryl Hyman (IIT, CS 1996) of the City Colleges of Chicago and the presidents of the City Colleges of Chicago, in 2010 Illinois Institute of Technology announced a major new scholarship and educational outreach initiative — the Presidential Scholarship. Through this initiative, IIT is determined to substantially redefine the pipeline initiatives within the fields of science and psychology, technology, engineering, and mathematics, as well as business and architecture — hereafter referred to as STEM+ fields — and to significantly engage students at every level throughout the educational community from K-12 through the community colleges to four-year institutions. Collaborating institutions and organizations are committed to serve as a catalyst to support students toward their goals to conduct undergraduate research and earn advanced professional and academic degrees in STEM+ fields.
Scholarship Information
Students who are granted an official nomination by their institution's President and admitted to IIT are considered by IIT's scholarship committee for the Presidential Scholarship. Recipients of the Presidential Scholarship receive:
$23,500 annual tuition scholarship award
$5,000 annual housing scholarship award to support on-campus residence at the university
Up to $5,000 stipend for undergraduate research through IIT's Undergraduate Research Scholars Program†
*Presidential Scholars are asked to maintain a commitment to STEM+ community outreach each academic year that engage and bridge their home and sending communities with the communities at the university, in the IIT/Bronzeville neighborhood, and the city of Chicago. Additionally, recipients of the Presidential Scholarship must maintain full-time enrollment and make satisfactory academic progress.
† Consideration for the $5,000 Research Stipend requires the completion of additional paperwork and is dependent on availability. Please see Undergraduate Research Scholars Program for more information.
