about the program

Scholars Support awards scholarships of $3500 to students with demonstrated financial need who are enrolled, or plan to enroll, in a degree or certificate program at College of DuPage (COD). The program helps ease monetary burdens to encourage graduation while increasing the availability of a skilled workforce able to meet local opportunities.

To be eligible for a scholarship, applicants must satisfy ONE of the criteria listed below:

  • Individuals who are currently enrolled at COD and have completed a minimum of 9 credit hours applicable to the degree or certificate program in which they are currently enrolled. They must be in good standing with a GPA of 2.5 or higher.

  • Individuals, 21 or older, who are not currently enrolled at COD but seeking to improve their career prospects through a degree or certificate program at COD.

why it’s important

Estimates indicate that 60-70% of College of DuPage graduates live and work in DuPage County after receiving their degrees. By supporting these individuals while they are still students, we hope to strengthen the larger local community in the future.
