High School Scholarships

Many Tutoring students reside in neighborhoods where the local high schools are often struggling and may have graduation rates as low as 50%. High School Scholarships enable Tutoring students to attend Chicago-area private and parochial high schools, with graduation rates near 100%. Attending good high schools position students to graduate with the skills necessary for college acceptance.

Congratulations to nine Tutoring students who will receive scholarships and become Chicago Lights Scholars in the fall!

Chicago Lights Scholars attend monthly meetings where they are provided with extra academic tutoring, study skills lessons, and leadership development activities. They will continue to receive financial support for each year of high school, based on their grade performance and continuing need.


Help more of our tutoring students receive financial aid by donating to the Scholarship Fund!

For information on applying for a scholarship, volunteering at Saturday Scholar meetings, or giving to the scholarship fund, contact Tanya Uyigue, Youth Programs Coordinator at 312.274.3828 or tuyigue@fourthchurch.org.

"The biggest draw for us to Chicago Lights, both as volunteers and benefactors, has been the sense of being apart of a strong community that inspires others and leads by example.

Chicago Lights has allowed both of us to share the gifts we have been so blessed with while gaining new perspective on the challenges our community faces."
--Craig and Alison Naish
