DC Illini Scholarships

The Illinois Alumni Club of Greater Washington DC (DC Illini) offers scholarships each year to outstanding high school seniors from the Metro DC area who will be attending the University of Illinois. The funding for these scholarships comes entirely from donations made by members of our local alumni club.  $10 of each member's annual dues goes into the scholarship fund and additional donations may be made through the University of Illinois Foundation.
 

All high school seniors who have been admitted into the University of Illinois and have a permanent address within the Greater Washington DC area (as defined by the U of I Office of Admissions and Records) are eligible to apply for these scholarships.

The University selects and awards a $1,000 scholarship on behalf of the DC Illini to an extremely qualified and deserving high school senior who has been admitted to the University of Illinois.  When possible, an additional $1,000 scholarship has been awarded to a student in the Illinois in Washington program.

If you are a prospective University of Illinois student from the National Capital Region, please contact our scholarship chair for more information.
