New CBT scholarships

The College of Business and Technology is pleased to announce two new scholarships.

The “Marketing Student Scholarship” was created by marketing faculty and will be awarded annually in the amoung of $700 to a marketing senior. As explained by Associate Professor of Marketing Samit Chakravorti, the idea came about last fall when he and his colleagues were discussing various ways to help students financially get through college.

Faculty in the college’s School of Computer Sciences have also contributed to a new scholarship. The “International Graduate Student Scholarship” is open to students who are enrolled in the Master of Computer Science program at WIU.

“Although the University made it a strategic priority to increase the number of international students who are enrolled at WIU, my colleagues and I saw that there is still a large financial hurdle for many of those students, especially for those who want to complete an advanced degree in computer science at WIU,” said Martin Maskarinec, professor of computer science.

The International Graduate Student Scholarship will be awarded in the amount of $500 in the first semester that the international student attends WIU.
