The Illinois Section offers scholarships to university civil engineering students from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Illinois Institute of Technology, and Northwestern University. Funded by the Section’s Technical Institute Chapters, these scholarships, ranging from $1,000 to $2,500, are awarded annually at the President Elect Dinner in Spring, with about $16,000 distributed each year. The application process includes outreach to the universities, where the Illinois Section discusses scholarship opportunities with students and collects applications for review by the Technical Institute Chapters.
