HFS Chicago Scholars supports the educational aspirations of underserved Chicago high school students. HFS offers private high school scholarships, individualized college counseling and one-on-one mentorship. Each scholar is matched with a dedicated mentor from the Chicago community to work with them on personal goals, college readiness and academic navigation.

Mentors are required to meet monthly with their scholar and communicate too. HFS events are always encouraged for meetings, but meetings out in the community are fine too! We are excited to welcome new mentors into our family and look forward to seeing relationships form.
