<p>Admitted students: Any of you have any mail on scholarship from UIUC. My D has got into James Scholar Program CS, but no further information on scholarship. Do they notify? If so, when?</p>
<p>sramas,</p>
<p>Try asking here on UIUC page,</p>

<p>James Scholar program is not a scholarship. It is more like an Honors program where the student gets a faculty mentor and is also given priority in registering for classes.
All you need for being a James scholars program is a 1450(M+CR) SAT score for freshmen and a 3.5?(not sure) GPA throughout college.</p>
<p>UIUC gives out very few scholarships to OOS students, leave alone International students. </p>
<p>They notify by March end/April beginning in general. Though every college/department has its own scholarships and its own notification date.</p>
<p>It would be best to call up UIUC and inquire about this.</p>
<p>Thanks Rishav. Yes we know that James Scholar program has got nothing to do with scholarships. I was just wondering if any of the admitted internationals had received any form of scholarship.</p>
<p>Oh…Thats why I didn’t get any such thing…SAT of 1380…
Though I still like the IEFX mail i got :)</p>
<p>@sramas - I’ve only heard of one guy(from India) who applied priority and was awarded a 20K scholarship.</p>
<p>This was also priority admission but without scholarship. Thanks Rishav, that was useful.</p>
<p>Haven’t got any aid information from UIUC yet. I don’t think they give any significant aid to international students. Plus even they do chances are pretty less considering how many international students they admit each year.</p>
