Undergrad CS students can have their tuition covered in exchange for working at a qualified job in Illinois after graduation.
The new iGROW grant will grow Illinois' thriving tech sector and help bright and determined students come to #ILLINOIS.

ALT Students work and discuss design projects in a round classroom with numerous monitors hanging from the ceiling and a central podium designed to allow faculty and students to see each other more clearly.
Got to see a bunch of former APCS students at a wedding last night! Almost all of them are in the CS field now and are extremely successful!

Jacobs 2020 grad Ashleigh Price came into today to speak to all our APCS classes
Ashleigh is a current student at EIU, majoring in Digital Media Technology, with minors in Computer Science and Studio Art
She is an amazing combination of art and CS
