Students and Scholarships

The Chaddick Institute encourages students at Chicago-area universities to participate in its workshops and events. Students at DePaul University with an interest in urban planning are also eligible for various Chaddick scholarships and fellowships. Recipients of these scholarships have gone on to work in such diverse organizations as the American Planning Association, Chicago Area Transportation Study, General Accounting Office, McArthur Foundation, and the Chicago Department of Environment.

To be considered for scholarship funding, students must demonstrate an interest and commitment to the fields of urban policy, planning, transportation, or environmental sciences while enrolled as a student at DePaul University.

Email Program Manager Joe Kearney, jkearne2@depaul.edu  to be put on the list.

Getting involved is as simple as attending one or more Chaddick events. Students are welcome to participate in our workshops free of charge. You can also call the Institute at (312)362-5731 and speak to the director and receive an informal tour of the offices. We will also be pleased to provide you a packet of materials describing our work and add you to the mailing list.

 

Applying for a Scholarships

Strong consideration is given in awarding Chaddick scholarships to students who contribute to the life of the Institute.   Before applying for a scholarship, we encourage you to come to one of our events, perhaps a workshop, and to develop an understanding of our mission.

You can obtain a scholarship application from the Chaddick office. Students enrolled in the Public Services Graduate Program can also obtain an application from the Public Services offices (we use the same application as other Public Services scholarships). 

This year, we also will award the Phyllis M. Sutker Scholarship to a graduate student. Mrs. Sutker, who died in 2002, was a pioneer in the world of Chicago trucking and real estate.  She was a longtime member of our advisory board and widely respected by transportation officials throughout the city. This $3,000 scholarship is limited to students enrolled in the Public Services Graduate Program.
