The President’s Award Program is a four-year merit scholarship awarded to first-year applicants from underrepresented groups and is based on strong academic performance. The program is open to Illinois residents belonging to the groups described in the Selection Criteria section below.
PAP is valued at up to $5,000 a year (2,500 a semester) and may be renewed for a total of eight consecutive, full-time fall or spring semesters for a value up to $20,000.
Only newly admitted first-year students will be considered. Scholarship consideration is also based on a combination of factors including high school record, and a comprehensive review of all application materials. Additionally, candidates must be from one from the following:
(a) a low-sending Illinois county to the University of Illinois
(b) a family that is not expected to contribute to the cost of their dependent student’s education as verified through the financial aid application process
(c) a historically underrepresented group.
Consideration for PAP awards begin after a student is admitted to the university. Students do not apply directly to the program and there are no supplemental forms or materials to submit. Students meeting the stated criteria receive an individual review by the President’s Award Program selection committee and will be notified by mail and email.
