Our Partners
We can’t achieve our vision for the future of Chicago alone. Through strong partnerships with key organizations, schools, universities, businesses, and community leaders in every sector, we’re always finding new ways to better serve our Scholars, their families, and everyone else in the Chicago Scholars community.
