The Illinois Louis Stokes STEM Pathway and Research Alliance (ILSPRA) Scholarship program supports science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), architecture, and psychology undergraduate research. The ILSPRA program is designed to promote developed and undeveloped undergraduate research projects. Scholarship amounts typically range from $1,000 to $4,000.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents from racial groups underrepresented in STEM careers (African American, Latinx, Native American).

The application deadline is January 31, 2023.

Students may work with their faculty mentors to complete the ILSPRA application. It is expected that the application must be written and completed from the student’s perspective. Applications written by the student’s advisor will not be accepted. Please note that this program is competitive, and not all applicants may be funded.
