Student application is not required to be considered for a Merit Tuition Scholarship. All active students in graduate degree programs with a GPA of 3.5 or higher, as well as prospective students who have applied for admission to those programs, will automatically be considered by the program's graduate advisor/coordinator. Graduate Merit Tuition Scholarships are awarded before the beginning of the semester in which the tuition scholarship will be used. Awardees will be notified via email by the College of Graduate Studies and Research. 

If you have any questions about Graduate Merit Tuition Scholarships, please contact the College of Graduate Studies and Research at graduatestudies@neiu.edu or (773) 442-6012.
