Illinois Promise
Illinois Promise is more than just a scholarship. Established in 2005, I-Promise is a comprehensive program that supports students’ financial, academic, and social needs during their time at the university. I-Promise is awarded to students from the state of Illinois who are academically high-achieving but may not have been able to attend a university due to financial need (family income must be at or below the federal poverty level to qualify, among other criteria). The scholarship ensures that each recipient’s full cost of attendance is covered, including tuition, fees, room and board, and books and supplies. Through the support of more than 900 donors since its inception, the I-Promise program also provides student recipients with mentoring, professional development, individualized coaching, and social, academic, and service-oriented activities.
Illinois Commitment Scholarship Fund
The Illinois Commitment program ensures a world-class Illinois education is accessible to all students, regardless of their financial circumstances. This scholarship covers tuition and fees for qualified Illinois residents with family incomes below $67,100. Your support for Illinois Commitment makes a significant impact on the lives of students who may not have had the opportunity to pursue higher education otherwise. Join us in creating a brighter future for our students and community by supporting the Illinois Commitment program.
