Office of Special Scholarship Programs

The Office of Special Scholarship Programs (OSSP) assists 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.


LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE IN STARTING YOUR SCHOLARSHIP SEARCH?

1. Download an OSSP Information Form

2. Fill the form out as thoroughly as possible

3. Attach the completed form and a copy of your resume in an email and send your completed form to OSSP


4. OSSP will contact you shortly after receipt of your form to suggest options for you, or to schedule an appointment for you to come in and speak to someone further
