Agreement

I understand that if I am selected as a recipient of this award I will still be required to apply for financial aid. (Please apply as early as possible.) I also understand that, if I am a resident of Illinois and a qualifier for the Illinois Student Assistance Commission’s MAP Grant, those funds will be applied to my tuition first. Furthermore, I understand that to keep my scholarship, should I be selected, I must comply with the minimum requirements expected of me (which include but are not limited to Admissions recruitment events, Student Government Association meetings, Student Life events, GPA standards, service hours, etc.) that will be specifically outlined at the time I am offered the scholarship.
