Welcome Class of 2020!

Dear Friends,

This coming fall 40 new students will begin their journey as HFS Chicago Scholars. Once again, this is the biggest class in our history (last year we accepted 39)!

We continue to grow our program for the following two reasons:

The demand for our program has never been greater. Every year we turn away hundreds of qualified candidates for our scholarship.
The impact of our program has never been clearer. Ninety percent of our scholars are on the honor roll each year. One hundred percent of our scholars enroll in college. Year after year we consistently deliver these incredible outcomes.

We rely upon you to support our scholars! Our fiscal year ends on June 30th. Help us finish this year on strong footing by making a financial contribution today. With your support, we will continue to extend life-changing support to more high potential students in our community.

With Sincere Gratitude,

Mike Kennelly

Founder & Chairman
