Welcome to Hope Chicago

Hope Chicago’s mission is to create pathways to success for multiple generations of Chicagoans through equitable access to higher education. By removing the barriers that hold low-income, first-generation college students back, we strive to shrink the racial wealth gap, uplifting families and entire communities in Chicago. This app (and platform) has been created to support Hope Scholars through their various postsecondary journeys in service of debt-free higher education completion. 

This platform has been designed for Hope Scholars—those graduates of Hope Chicago's five partner Chicago high schools where Hope Chicago has promised debt-free higher education pathways. This platform will not serve you if you are not an active Hope Scholar.     

All Hope Chicago supporters, donors, and partners. Our scholars take great pride in knowing they have the whole city behind them. We could not do this without you.
