Sending Seniors to College - Karen Foley, Executive Director of Scholarship Chicago

Join the conversation with Karen Foley, President of Chicago Scholars. A graduate of Wharton, she was the first in her family to apply to college. Listen to how her experiences - and those of many other first generation and under sourced students - are now making a difference in the lives of hundreds of college bound students. Chicago Scholars Foundation serves Chicago by creating a diverse pipeline of highly skilled professionals who promote a culture of academic and professional excellence in every neighborhood. Over the past 10 years, they have served 1,700 academically ambitious, high-need students, and have become one of the largest privately-funded non-profits devoted to improving the college graduation rates of underserved Chicago area youth. By helping to eliminate barriers to collegiate success and supplying financial support, Scholarship Chicago empowers young people to succeed through a 5-year attentive and nurturing support system. www.chicagoscholars.org. Karen will have an exciting announcement to share with us as well! Be sure to tune in!
