HFS Chicago Scholars, founded in 1993, holds steadfast to its founding principle: given active support and educational opportunities, economically disadvantaged Chicago inner-city kids can use the power of their minds and hard work to achieve success. Mission: Our objective is simple - long term success for our Scholars. The HFS Chicago Scholars begins its seventeenth year, and our founding idea still holds strong - when given active support in a disciplined environment, Chicago kids without immediate access to the keys to opportunity can use the power of their minds and hard work to achieve success. Due to our financial, academic and mentoring assistance, we walk hand-in-hand with each Scholar as they transform their aspirations into reality. In return, our Scholars promise to work hard to achieve their potential. Each time a child triumphs and succeeds, the HFS family shares and rejoices in this success. We grow, change and prosper as one family. Description: We provide the following to our scholars: Financial assistance to attend top Chicago private high schools One-on-one mentors from the young professional community Academic Directors dedicated to each high school class Four-year written commitment specifying performance expectations College visits, selection and admissions support
