Chicago Scholars Develops Network of National College Partners

"Matching" to a set of "good-fit" colleges isn't easy for first generation and underserved college bound youth. With over 2,000 colleges and universities in the nation, the choices are overwhelming. Perhaps even more challenging, most scholars are unaware that so many choices await them.  Rather, they rely a short list of institutions they have heard of. While this approach may work for some, for too many scholars, by not exploring their options, they end up limiting them.

That is why Chicago Scholars works with each scholar individually to introduce a broad set of options that match their true academic abilities, their interests and the kind of campus culture that will lead to their success. We are very proud to work with the following colleges and universities - institutions that are committed to serving our population of talented scholars.
