Office of Special Scholarship Programs

Welcome

The Office of Special Scholarship Programs (OSSP) assists current UIC students in searching and applying for nationally competitive scholarships, fellowships and external scholarship awards. We provide information about available awards, advice on application preparation, and assistance throughout the scholarship application process. We do not award scholarships, and our services are available to current UIC students only.

We don't simply provide a list of awards. We help students present themselves clearly and effectively for awards that best suit their needs. Our director, Beth Powers, can offer guidance on communication about academic achievement, co-curricular involvement, life experiences and financial need. Students are welcome at any point in their academic career, and are encouraged to plan ahead to prepare the strongest possible scholarship applications.

OUR SERVICES ARE ONLY FOR STUDENTS AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO (UIC)
