CHICAGO SCHOLARS NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR CLASS OF 2028

More than 500 first generation and under-resourced Chicago high
school juniors will be selected to take part in the rigorous academic and leadership program, primed to become Chicago’s next generation of leaders.

Leading youth nonprofit, Chicago Scholars is now accepting applications to join their 2028 college graduating class program. The organization encourages all high school juniors who are ambitious students and motivated leaders to apply by February 8, 2023.

Scholars come from all over the city of Chicago to take part in the
organization’s seven-year college access, college success, and leadership development program that provides them with the resources, training, and opportunities to navigate the college
application process, successfully complete college, and transition into a professional career.

The newest class of Scholars will receive support throughout the
college application process, including the opportunity to attend the Chicago Scholars Onsite College and Leadership Forum, a one-day event that results in offers of admission and merit aid.

Once enrolled in a four-year college, Scholars will receive leadership development and supportive relationships directed towards their individual needs for academic and social success, as well as the resources, training, and opportunities needed
to complete college and transition to a professional career.
