Apply
In moving from a small pilot of 73 students in 2009 to roughly one-quarter of the freshmen class (~300), a group of select students will be invited to form the iEFX class of 2014. All admitted students are encouraged to apply. iEFX looks to build an entering class with students of high academic standing but equally important are intellectual curiosity, perseverance, creativity, leadership, interest in engaging with others, social awareness, and passion for learning. Students should be comfortable collaborating with faculty and peers for iEFX projects, discussions, and classes. Admissions and notification to iEFX will take place prior to the May 1st deadline for notifying the University of Illinois of intent to enroll.
Students who have received offers of admission to the College of Engineering, either in December or in February, interested in applying for iEFX need to submit a brief form (in development) and personal statement. This brief form provides the selection committee access to your University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 2010 Undergraduate Application for Admissions, Honors, and Scholarships. The Undergraduate Application, together with your brief statement of purpose, will form the basis for selection to join the iEFX class of 2014. iEFX invitations will be sent by US mail to your home address prior to the May 1 deadline. For more details, please see the timetable noted in the separate tab. Participation in iEFX does not preclude participation in any departmental honors program, the Campus Honors Program, or the James Scholars program.
