2009-10 LAS SCHOLARSHIP GUIDELINES
Each year the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences awards nearly 20 scholarships to UIC students in good academic standing. Awards range from $600 to $10,000. Although many of the awards are need-based or restricted to LAS students, there are several awards open to applicants regardless of financial aid status or college affiliation.
Students applying for any of the scholarships offered by LAS must meet the following minimum requirements in order to be eligible:
- currently enrolled in the UIC College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, unless otherwise stipulated;
- in good standing (minimum 2.0/4.0 GPA), unless otherwise stipulated;
- have completed a minimum of 30 semester hours at UIC, unless otherwise stipulated;
- enrolled at UIC for fall semester 2009. Students graduating prior to fall 2009 are not eligible.
Some scholarships have additional specific requirements. It is possible to be eligible for and to win more than one scholarship. For details, please consult the list of scholarships.
