Qualifications for the Lincoln Award

Scholarships for Illinois Residents, Inc. is now accepting applications for its Lincoln Award, which is available to students who are residents of Illinois. 

Scholarships for Illinois Residents, Inc. accepts applications for the Lincoln Award, which is available to students who are residents of Illinois, through the Trinity College Regular Decision Deadline.

• Applicants for the Lincoln Award must be residents of Illinois when they apply to Trinity. A student qualifies as a resident of Illinois if he or she lives in Illinois, even if attending a secondary school out of state. The reverse is not true. A student residing outside of Illinois is not eligible, even if attending high school in Illinois.

• Applicants for this award must have applied to Trinity College for admission in the current cycle.

• Applicants must have applied Regular Decision to Trinity College and not applied Binding Early Decision to any other College or University.

• The application for the Lincoln Award is for the scholarship alone and is not an application for admission to Trinity College.

• Applications for the Lincoln Award must be submitted by February 15 of the year they would matriculate.

The Award decisions will be reached shortly after Trinity releases its decisions as to admission to the Class.

To apply for a Lincoln Award, please complete the application form.
