Mission Statement
Scholarship Chicago is dedicated to recognizing and supporting success through education in every neighborhood and every school in Chicago.
Description
Scholarship Chicago works to: 1. Recognize Chicago students who have overcome obstacles to graduate from high school and go on to college. 2. Encourage scholarship by working with neighborhood organizations, high schools, internship programs, and college readiness programs to support successful scholars; and by awarding a $1,000 gift to one college-bound graduate from each Chicago high school each year. 3. Support citywide efforts to make quality education a hallmark of Chicago. 4. Build a cadre of Chicago Scholars as a networking organization designed to help Chicago students make the transition to college and careers.
