Help us make this year's Onsite Admissions Forum our most successful yet! The Onsite is an admissions program connecting 175+ selective to highly selective colleges from across the nation to Chicago’s most talented youth. Chicago's brightest youth interview with up to six best match-fit colleges of their choice with many receiving college admissions decisions and merit aid scholarships that day.
We have a variety of roles throughout the day, from working with students to working with colleges, or managing the registration tables. Most shifts are three hours and we welcome both individuals and groups. Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.

Mission Statement
Chicago uniquely select, train, and mentor academically ambitious students from under-resourced communities to complete college and become the next generation of leaders who will transform their neighborhoods and our city.
Description
Chicago Scholars is transforming the leadership landscape of our city by resolving the fundamental barriers to success for academically driven, first generation college students from under-resourced communities. Through college counseling, mentoring, and by providing a supportive community to our Scholars through each phase of our program: College Access: Launch, College Persistence: Lift and College to Careers: Lead, we ensure that they realize their full potential as students and leaders.
All Chicago Scholars receive extensive college counseling, which helps them successfully enroll in best match & fit colleges, and are supported through the college transition process by their mentors and staff. 88% of Chicago Scholars graduate college within 6 years. Per the University of Chicago Consortium on Chicago School Research, only 50% of their peers earn a degree within 6 years. Upon graduation, our Scholars move into leadership positions across Chicago, helping to drive the economic future of their communities and our thriving city.
