Knowledge Center


"Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it."

From BOSWELL, Life of Johnson, April 18, 1775


Chicago Scholars is committed to sharing knowledge on a wide range of post-secondary topics with the aim of enhancing our community's understanding of the obstacles our scholars face on a daily basis, and what we can do to help them succeed. This section is devoted articles, research, and an occasional opinion - on and about scholars - including feedback directly from them. We hope this is one of the first places you search for up-to-date knowledge about the challenges and successes of first generation and under-sourced college bound youth. And, we encourage you to share your knowledge with us! Write to us at inquiries@chicagoscholars.org
