Exclusive scholarship program for CHA residents now accepting applications
CHICAGO -- The application period for the 2026-2027 CHA/Springboard to Success (S2S) College Scholarship is open and accepting applications. There are 175 scholarships valued at $2,000 each.
The scholarship has been helpful for Journey Davis, a junior at Spelman College.
“I am tremendously grateful not only for the financial support this scholarship provides toward my college education, but also for S2S and CHA’s commitment to identifying and addressing gaps in educational access among CHA residents,” said Davis, who is majoring in Economics. “Their investment in educational liberation is creating life-changing pathways for opportunity and long-term impact.”
The CHA/S2S Scholarship is available to current CHA public housing residents or Housing Choice Voucher participants who have at least a 2.0 GPA and are high school seniors or college undergraduates. Awards are based on applicants' academic merit, community involvement and essay content. Applicants must plan to attend an accredited two-or-four-year college or university in the U.S. in the Fall of 2026. CHA’s nonprofit partner, S2S, supports the scholarship.
The deadline for the CHA/S2S Scholarship application period is May 30. Go to http://thecha.org/scholarship for more information.
