Scholarships
Earning a scholarship starts long before completing applications and getting letters of recommendation. Your grades, achievements, and activities during high school typically determine the scholarships for which you are eligible.
Before you start your search, think about the things that make you a unique student:
- What is your grade point average?
- What do you plan to study?
- Are you a military veteran or a member of the Illinois National Guard?
- Have you done any community service or volunteering?
- In which activities have you participated?
- Do you or your parents belong to any clubs or civic, social, or religious organizations?
