SCHOLARSHIPS AND TUITION AWARDS

Scholarships and tuition awards are awarded to students with excellent academic and artistic achievement. All tuition awards incur performance obligations within the department, such as membership in and performance with the UIC ensembles and/or participation in UIC Theatre productions. Scholarship deadlines are determined by faculty and may vary from year to year. To be considered, you must have already been admitted.

FINANCIAL AID

Be sure to complete a FAFSA application (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) maximize your eligibility for need-based aid. UIC’s FAFSA code is 001776.

UIC’s new Aspire program covers tuition and fees for eligible Illinois residents whose families earn less than $75,000 a year, making Chicago’s public research university even more accessible. This initiative ensures that students can pursue their academic goals without the financial burden of tuition costs. To learn more about the program and eligibility, please visit free.uic.edu.
