Sloan Scholarship

The Sloan University Center of Exemplary Mentoring (UCEM) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is a three-year grant-funded program that will advance the Sloan Foundation's goal of broadening participation in advanced engineering, physical and mathematical science careers, thereby strengthening the talent pool in these fields while increasing equitable opportunities in the U.S. Through the UCEM, the Sloan Scholarship program supports underrepresented racial/ethnic minority students (URMs), defined by Sloan as U.S. citizens who are African American, Latina/Latino, and/or American Indian/Alaskan Native. During the grant period, 50 scholars (25 Sloan Scholars and 25 Illinois Sloan Scholars) will be recruited, and they will each be funded with waiver-generating departmental assistantships and/or fellowships as well as supplemental support as provided by Sloan Scholarships.
