Illinois Computer Science students are changing the world through their contributions to the computing industry and to research. This page is going to be the most up-to-date resource for all things awards (scholarships, fellowships, grants, etc.). As you will see below, there are two main types of awards - Department Action Needed and External, which is then divided into five sections based on your status as a student. We encourage you to check back often to see what opportunities are available.
If you have questions and/or are experiencing difficulties with the page, please email Michelle Wellens.
