This Scholarship is available to students enrolled to start school at the Academy who live in the United States and are not Illinois residents. Applicants may also demonstrate financial need as determined by the Scholarship Award Panel. Awards may range from $500 to $2,500 for each scholarship recipient, with awards less than $1,000 being applied in the student’s first quarter of attendance and awards of $1,000 or greater applied in equal quarterly installments during the student’s first three quarters of attendance.
Deadline for application is December 20, March 20, June 20, and September 20 of each year.
Eligibility:
1. Applicants must submit a completed scholarship application.
2. Applicants must submit a one to two-page typed essay outlining talents they possess that make them well-suited to their area of study, why the Academy is their school of choice, and what their career plans are upon graduation from the Academy.
3. Applicants must also submit two letters of recommendation from either past or present educators and/or employers.
4. Applicants must have completed their financial aid package requirements as defined by the Financial Aid office.
Scholarship Awarding Panel: The panel consists of the Associate Vice President of Admissions (also serves as the Chair), the Director of Student Management, and the Director of Financial Aid.
The International Academy of Design & Technology offers scholarships annually to both incoming (new students) and continuing students, in order to encourage the pursuit of higher education. Applicants must submit a separate application for all scholarships for which they wish to apply.
Scholarship applications for all Incoming Students are available from the Financial Aid Office or the Admissions Department.
Any award under $1,000 will be awarded in the term for which the award is granted. Awards of $1,000 to $4,999 will be applied in equal quarterly installments though an academic year (three quarters) of attendance. Awards of $5,000 or more will be applied in equal quarterly installments throughout the program length. Withdrawal from the Academy nullifies any unused scholarship funds.
Students may apply for multiple scholarships, but will only be eligible to receive one scholarship per scholarship cycle, the scholarship with the greatest cash value.
