About Us
Scholarship Chicago serves the City of Chicago and its surrounding region by creating a diverse pipeline of highly skilled professionals who will promote a culture of academic and professional excellence in every neighborhood. Over the past 10 years, we have served 1400 academically ambitious, high-need students, and have become one of the largest privately-funded non-profits devoted to improving the college graduation rates of underserved Chicago area youth. By helping to eliminate barriers to collegiate success and supplying financial support, Scholarship Chicago empowers young people to succeed through a 5-year attentive and nurturing support system. Together with our partners and donors, we are "Investing in the Future, One Scholar at a Time."
OUR MISSION:
The mission of Scholarship Chicago is to produce a valuable group of leaders who will work to make Chicago a better place to live, learn, work, and raise a family. To this end, we provide our scholars with college preparatory workshops, mentors, summer internships, and career networking opportunities. By guiding and supporting talented and ambitious Chicago youth as they complete college and transition into productive careers, Scholarship Chicago is ensuring that our city will remain competitive in the global economy for many years to come.
