About Us
We provide scholarship opportunities and programs for students pursuing post-secondary education at an accredited institution. Students who receive one of our scholarships are already admitted to and have completed one full academic year at a post-secondary institution. We provide scholarship opportunities for any Chicago area native pursuing post-secondary education at an accredited institution (two-year, four year and/or trade). We are here to support students as they continue their education beyond high school no matter what path they choose.
