The University Scholarship is one of the most prestigious merit-based scholarships available for freshmen through the Office of Admissions at Illinois State University. Each scholarship is valued at $5,000 per year and is renewable for up to eight semesters providing participants maintain a minimum 2.75 cum GPA at the completion of each academic year. The potential total value of the scholarship is $20,000.
Coordinated services and benefits are provided all University Scholars through the University Scholars Support Program. The major objectives of the University Scholars Support Program are to assist University Scholars in making successful transitions to the University, provide programs and services to enhance their chances for academic success, and provide opportunities for academic enrichment as well as personal and professional growth as they complete their undergraduate degree requirements. The program is administered by the University College Julia N. Visor Academic Center and University College Academic Advisement.
