The interviews will be one-on-one with faculty members. Most students interviewing for the Camras Scholarships will have one interview but some departments do two interviews with different faculty. For the Duchossois Scholarships, it will be more of a group interview. Last year, we had at least one faculty member doing the interview and we tried to have at least one current Duchossois Scholar assisting as well.

The interviewers will have read your folders, including the essays, letters of reference and resumes if present. The questions really vary from one interviewer to the next but the goal is always the same. To determine if there is a good fit between the student and the scholarship. There is usually a chance for the student to ask questions too because as far as I am concerned, the students who are interviewing are there to decide if IIT is the right place for them and need to be able to ask questions.

Besides the interviews, there will be social events and the chance for you to meet other IIT students and help make your decision.
