Special Events and Competitions

Throughout the year, Elevate College Prep partners with academic departments at the university and other Chicago-area organizations to provide educational and experiential learning opportunities for high school and middle school students across the region. 

High school students who participate in specific Elevate College Prep events can earn an EDGE Award! EDGE Awards can be applied toward the cost of an Elevate experience—including summer programs, dual-enrollment courses, and more—or they can save the award and use it to fund an Elevate experience as an student, should they pursue a bachelor's degree at Illinois Tech!

Start signing up for events today by creating an Excelerate account! Be sure to choose Illinois Tech as your preferred opportunity provider when you sign-up.
