  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Chicago Scholars Onsite Admissions Forum

The Onsite College and Leadership Forum is our signature event. Every year, over 120 colleges gather to interview Scholars in the College Access phase of our program. During this truly life-changing day, students get one-on-one time with admissions representatives - and some even get on-the-spot offers of admission and merit aid! On Friday, October 25th over 500 Scholars will gather at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place to participate in Onsite interviews and career-fair style conversations with our corporate partners. We will need over 200 volunteers to support this important day, will you join us? Volunteers must be at least 18 years old

About Chicago Scholars

Location:

247 South State Street, Suite 700, Chicago, IL 60604, US

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.
