The SIU Leadership Development Program is designed to develop the next generation of technical leaders through leadership coaching, one-on-one and peer mentoring, and community service. You can start your path in the LDP as an SIU Sophomore or as a Transfer Student. Each starting point leads to the same destination, becoming a leader! We are proud to be one of the few STEM colleges nationwide to offer a program that provides a direct bridge from classroom training to a successful career as a technical leader.

We are pleased to offer the Southern Illinois Energy Scholarships program at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. The program is supported through a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, the SIU McNair Program prepares undergraduates for graduate school through research and scholarly activities. Our program links students to faculty members who provide intensive, hands-on, mentored research experiences for eight weeks during the summer. Students receive a research award of $2800 for participating in the Summer Research Institute. Also, students participate in workshops, classes, graduate school visits, conferences, and personal and professional development activities throughout the school year. The scholarship program serves first generation, low- income students regardless of their ethnicity and students underrepresented in graduate education. All participants must have a minimum GPA of 2.7 and be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident.  For more information, please visit mcnair.siu.edu/
