What does
'nationally competitive' mean?
When
we say that a scholarship is 'nationally competitive' we mean
that applicants from all across the United States are applying
for the award. Often, this indicates an increased level of competitiveness
over awards that may be sponsored by local entities such as the
State of Illinois or a Chicago based organization. In addition,
these awards are generally viewed as the hardest to win, and therefore,
may require a substantial amount of preparatory work. While many
perceive that these awards generally go to students attending
elite private institutions, this is not the case. UIC and many
other state universities have candidates who win these pretigious
awards on a regular basis. Please see our Scholarship
Winners page for recent award recipients from UIC.
