Scholarship Overview
The University of Illinois Alumni Association awarded the Houston Illini Club the "110% Award" for the Club's Scholarship Program (2013)!
Each spring the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's (UIUC's) Admissions Department provides the Houston Illini Club a list of all Houston area high school seniors who have been accepted to UIUC. In early April the Committee plans to send each such individual an e-mail with our congratulations of their acceptance to Illinois, and our encouragement to complete the club's scholarship application. For 2019 the club intends to award a $600 merit/leadership based based scholarship. If you know any top high school students considering the University of Illinois as one of their college destinations please encourage them to apply!
