Freshmen:
Giveback is a scholarship opportunity that partners with respected universities and colleges in Illinois to give students the opportunity to attend school at little or no cost for tuition, standard fees room and board. Giveback selects scholarship recipients early---in the ninth grade---in order to prepare them for college. Once selected, the scholars are paired with a qualified mentor to assist the student in staying on track, reaching successive goals, and navigating the complexity of college preparation. Students with special circumstances, such as homelessness, foster care, or an incarcerated parent, are strongly encouraged to apply.
More information and brochures are available in the Guidance Office.
