SHARE WITH STUDENTS: Scholarship Deadline Reminder: The Chancellor’s new FirstGen Flames Abroad Scholarship Deadline is 4/15
Chancellor Michael Amiridis has graciously supported the launch of a new scholarship to encourage first-generation, first-year undergraduate students to study abroad. The Chancellor’s FirstGen Flames Abroad Scholarship is designed to award first-year students with high potential, whose parent(s) did not complete a bachelor’s degree, with a scholarship to study abroad. The application deadline is soon approaching on April 15th.
The Study Abroad Office has placed an “event” note on the student records of all eligible students in iAdvise. Research and experience have shown that it can often take being individually tapped by a trusted mentor or advisor for some first-generation students to feel confident in pursuing opportunities like this. Please encourage students whom you think would be a great fit for this opportunity to apply.
Contact Kyle Rausch, Executive Director, UIC Study Abroad Office (kcrausch@uic.edu) with any questions.
