<p>The deadline for applications for the [Duchossois</a> Leadership Scholars | Undergraduate Admission | IIT](<a href=“http://www.iit.edu/undergrad-admission/cost/scholarships-duchossois-scholars.shtml]Duchossois”>http://www.iit.edu/undergrad-admission/cost/scholarships-duchossois-scholars.shtml) at [Illinois</a> Institute of Technology](<a href=“http://www.iit.edu%5DIllinois”>http://www.iit.edu) is December 1, 2012.</p>
<p>The Duchossois Scholarship is a highly selective, full tuition, room and board scholarship which has a focus on outstanding academics and leadership. Top applicants will be invited to campus for an interview “weekend” in February, 2013.</p>
<p>The Duchossois Leadership Scholarship program is unique in that students have a close mentoring relationship with the two endowed Duchossois Professors as well as regular contact with the donor, Craig Duchossois.</p>
<p>Successful applicants will be asked to participate in leadership activities throughout their time at IIT and each student will have a summer educational experience after their first year of studies. In summer of 2012, the Duchossois Scholars and Professors, attended the [Engineering</a> Leadership Conference](<a href=“http://www.elc2012.org/]Engineering”>http://www.elc2012.org/) in Adelaide, Australia followed by a 4 day stay in Sydney including a visit to the University of New South Wales.</p>
<p>I am happy to answer any questions about the program and admissions process.</p>
