. I am glad you are following engineering and being successfull at it. There is a huge lack of women engineers and hopefully, once the DREAM ACT is passed, you 'll be eligible to many scholarships. Girls in engineering is an awesome thing because we , the boys, bring a very one-sided aspect to the way we design things. Girls look at it from our point of view and from a different point of view that is theirs. So keep going at it, I am sure you'll accomplish even greater things in your life (you've already beaten cancer and that's a huge accomplishment).

I'm a junior right now and ineligible for many scholarships. I was lucky enough to be granted a private scholarship with no residency requirements. Unfortunately, their foundation had to cut everyone's scholarship because they were running low on funding this year. Still - better than nothing. I'll take what I can get. I hope that DREAM is passed while it can still help those of us in school. The irony of this whole situation is - my major is a fairly new one on campus and it's not ABET-acredited yet because there haven't been any graduates. As a result, most of the people in my major are ineligible for engineering scholarships. *shrug*And I agree - more perspectives are always welcomed - in every field. In my major, the deans did a good job of keeping the ratio of boys to girls even. Wish I could say the same for electrical engineering...

...but CS is very close to being one too 
. The ABET accreditation is important to get scholarships but I am sure you'll find something with your credentials (good GPA, good college). If you are going to UIUC, congrats because it's a great school! . I was in Illinois last summer doing an internship (but it was like on the border with Wisconsin and two hours away from Chicago).
