Illinois scholarships

136 scholarships open to students in Illinois, with the amount, the deadline and who can apply for each. State and local awards draw a far smaller applicant pool than national ones, which usually makes them the better use of an afternoon.

Amounts come from the provider. A large figure is sometimes the total a fund awards across all its recipients rather than what one student receives — confirm the individual award with the provider before you apply.
