The UIC Navigator Scholars Program fund was established to support students who are the first in their families to attend college with a dedicated scholarship to plan for a study abroad experience during their undergraduate career at UIC. First-generation college students often have unique concerns related to study abroad such as funding, choosing a program that aligns with their personal, professional, and academic goals, and communicating about their decision to study abroad with their families.
In addition to the scholarship, recipients will participate as a cohort in a series of guided workshops designed to address these and other topics. The scholarship program is open to any first-generation, first-year undergraduate student. Please consider supporting first-generation UIC students who plan to study abroad.
