SIS financial support
The School of Information Sciences offers financial support to outstanding undergraduate students who already are enrolled in the degree program.
The Eli Lilly Book/Scholarship
The school offers three Eli Lilly scholarships each year. The annual Eli Lilly tuition scholarship provides $2,000 each year, and two book scholarships are available for $800 each. These awards are made in the spring semester and go to outstanding students nominated by School of Information Sciences faculty members.
The ALCOA Ambassador Scholarship
Students admitted to the undergraduate program in Information Sciences are welcome to apply for the ALCOA Ambassador Scholarship program. This one-time award will be offered in the amount of $5,000 or $7,000, depending upon the recipient's state of residency.
IS scholarship fund
This fund, supported by the SIS endowment, is offered to any undergraduate or graduate student in the school. The gift amount depends on the funds available.
Commonwealth funds
Each year, the School receives "Commonwealth Funds," which
are earmarked to support diversity students in both the undergraduate and
graduate programs. This program offers both tuition and stipend support.
The Commonwealth Funds are distributed through each degree program.
Education, Not Training
SIS provides education rather than training, enabling its graduates to be experts in many professional areas.
