FirstGen Flames Abroad Scholarship Information Session

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 whose parent(s) did not complete a bachelor’s degree with a scholarship to study abroad. Students will find out during their first year at UIC if they have earned the scholarship and will have the remainder of their time at UIC to use the scholarship toward the costs of an approved UIC faculty-directed or exchange program. In addition to receiving a scholarship, FirstGen Flames Scholars will participate in a series of workshops as a cohort to learn about selecting a study abroad program, opportunities for additional funding, integrating study abroad into their academic major, and using international education to advance their career.

Join us at this information session to learn more about this unique study abroad scholarship and tips for applying. The info session will take place via Zoom on Feb. 11, 2022, from noon to 1 p.m. Register here.

Applications for the scholarship will open up on Jan. 10, 2022. The application deadline is April 1, 2022. Visit the Study Abroad Office website for more information.
