College Choice Celebration in the News
If you watched the news last night, you may have already heard that last night’s College Choice Celebration was a great success! Prior to making their college choices, more than 400 Chicago Scholars from the Class of 2020 submitted more than 4,300 college applications, were admitted to more than 140 colleges and universities, and have been awarded more than $29.5 million in merit aid.
Last night we celebrated as our Class of 2020 announced their college decisions. Fox 32 Chicago, ABC 7, and Hoy came out to cover the inspiring event, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the stories they produced!
Check out the excellent coverage:
