Illinois Tech’s Camras Scholars program is looking for who's next. Named for Marvin Camras (EE ’40, M.S. ’42), a pioneer in magnetic recording technology, Camras scholars have solved age-old problems in structural engineering, developed novel methods for improving campus life, and increased the overall academic ethic and social ethic of their fellow students. The group’s mission is to help its members achieve their personal and professional goals, while promoting excellence in groundbreaking and innovative research, social and entrepreneurial leadership, and service to the Illinois Tech community and the world as a whole. Of all students who apply to Illinois Tech, less than 1 percent are selected to be Camras Scholars.
The interprofessional spirit at Illinois Tech makes for more than just good engineers, scientists, architects, and others. It challenges our students to go beyond their fields of study and see the rest of the world—and the Camras scholars are no exception.
Scholarship Benefits
- Full-tuition based on the tuition rates of the student’s first year. The same amount is awarded each consecutive year and does not cover the cost of a tuition increase. Students are eligible for up to four years of undergraduate tuition; five years if the student is in the architecture program.
- Camras Scholars are expected to make meaningful contributions to the campus and the Illinois Tech community in three focus areas known as the Camras Pillars: leadership, research, and service.
How to Apply
- Apply via the Early Decision I (binding) or Early Action I (non-binding) application deadline.
- Camras scholars candidates must submit their completed application (including transcripts and official test scores) to Illinois Tech by November 15 to be considered for this scholarship.
- No additional scholarship application is necessary. If an applicant is selected as a finalist for the Camras Scholarship, they will be informed in late December.

2025-2026 Academic Year Scholarship Amounts
Carroll University awards renewable, automatic merit scholarships* (non-need-based grants) to incoming first-year students at the time of admission. These scholarships are based on cumulative high school GPA and standardized test scores, when provided. There is no need for an additional application to be reviewed for these scholarships! These renewable scholarships range from $18,000 - $26,000 per year.
We know that every Carroll student is more than a number or a test score, and we also know that the answer to the question, “What’s a good ACT or SAT score?” varies from student to student. At Carroll University, we’ll take the guesswork out. If you send us your ACT or SAT score, we’ll use it only if it helps your application and merit scholarship. Don’t want to send a score? No problem! We’ll use the other information in your application to consider you for both admission and scholarships.
A student is awarded merit scholarships based on their academic background. In the event that academic information improves over time (as noted by a 7th semester high school transcript or submitted test scores), Carroll will review for a higher merit scholarship based on information received by February 15, 2025.
In addition to merit scholarships, Carroll offers Department/Talent Scholarships from science interest, engineering, Esports, to music, theater and more. For more information, visit Carroll's scholarship page.

What makes this scholarship unique?
The BBB Students of Integrity Scholarship is awarded each year to individuals who can prove they have demonstrated character, leadership and ethical values when faced with an ethical dilemma. By focusing on these traits, we hope to develop future leaders who will promote ethics in the Wisconsin marketplace.
