CHICAGO SCHOLAR SUCCESS STORIES

“When I joined Chicago Scholars, I found a community of people who were just like me.”

DAVID Leon | Washington University of St. Louis | CLASS OF 2020 | Current CS Staffer

“A lot of low-income folks, first-generation folks, Latinx people, people of color. That community aspect was big for me. Having people at Chicago Scholars that are like minded that I could really relate to, with similar backgrounds and interests, was important.”






Mentorship, the CS Way

When the formalities of “mentor/mentee” are gone, I believe I’ll have two wonderful friendships with Shanthi and John. The routine we have when it comes to staying in touch and considering each other’s well-being and potential, I confidently think that the foundation has already been laid.
