The CME Group Foundation announced that 18 rising Black and Latinx students majoring in finance, technology and related fields at 11 partner colleges and universities in Illinois have each been awarded $20,000 in scholarships to further their education. With this addition, the CME Group Foundation is currently providing scholarships to 33 college students for the 2023-24 academic year. Nine of these students attend UIC.
“UIC takes great pride in the recognition earned by our students, who represent half of the 2023 CME Group Foundation Scholars cohort,” said University of Illinois Chicago Chancellor Marie Lynn Miranda. “The CME Group Foundation is a wonderful university partner and its scholars program clearly aligns with UIC’s mission to provide the broadest possible access to higher education and opportunities for growth outside of the classroom. This is an empowering opportunity for Black and Latinx students as they explore and prepare for potential finance and technology careers.”
