Scholarship Details
International merits based Scholarships for Graduates and Undergraduate Students
Illinois Institute of Technology is dedicated to enrolling a diverse and talented student body from all over the world and offers institutional scholarships to international undergraduate students ranging from $40,000 to $100,000 over four years. Both first-year and transfer international students are automatically considered for scholarship as well as grant packages based on academic success, community involvement, and also on other achievements, with no additional application required. However, international students must submit a Financial Affidavit of Support to prove they or their sponsors can cover educational and living expenses throughout their studies. Tuition and fees may vary annually, and the minimum financial amount required depends on any scholarships awarded. For Chicago-Kent J.D. applicants, the total scholarships received (merit and need-based) cannot exceed tuition costs, and certain applicants—such as international students and those receiving large merit awards—are not eligible for need-based scholarships. Scholarship decisions consider FAFSA information, need-based applications, and merit awards, ensuring fair and comprehensive financial aid distribution.
