DuPage Medical Group Scholarship Fund
Deadline to apply: May 21, 2021 3:00 pm CT

DuPage Medical Group has established a scholarship program to assist DMG employees’ children who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.

The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance, and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

Applicants to the DuPage Medical Group Scholarship Fund must be:

  • Dependent* children, age 26 and under, of part-time or full-time DuPage Medical Group employees who have a minimum of one (1) year of employment with the company as of the application deadline.*Dependent children are defined as biological, step- or legally adopted children living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee.
  • High school seniors or graduates who plan to enroll or students who are already enrolled in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year.

Children of c-suite, board members, directors, and doctors are ineligible to apply.

Award Information:

  • Up to six (6) awards of $5,000 will be granted.
  • Awards may be renewed for up to three additional years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first.
  • Renewal is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance (maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale or the equivalent) in a full-time course of study, continued employment of the student’s parent at DuPage Medical Group, and continuation of the program by DuPage Medical Group.

Students in two-year programs must transfer to a four-year program by the third year to be eligible for continued renewals.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Notification

Applicants will be notified in June. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.

Payment of Scholarships

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of DuPage Medical Group. Payment is made in one installment in early August. Scholarship America mails checks (payable to the educational institution) to student recipients or sends funds via EFT directly to participating institutions.

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

  • Academic record
  • Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
  • Honors
  • Work experience
  • Statement of career and educational goals and objectives
  • Unusual personal or family circumstances
  • An online recommendation

At minimum, 50% or three (3) of the DuPage Medical Group Scholarship Fund recipients will be in historically underserved minority populations assuming qualified applications are received.

Financial need is not considered.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of DuPage Medical Group play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

As part of your application, you must upload the following document:

  • A current, complete transcript of grades. Grade reports are not accepted. Unofficial or online transcripts must display student name, school name, grades and credit hours for each course and term in which each course was taken.
