91精选 Partners with Chicago Public High School to Offer Annual Scholarships

Feb 21, 2016

Student with a flag91精选 is proud to announce a new partnership with North Lawndale College Prep (NLCP), a Chicago Public School on the city鈥檚 West Side, that will open up opportunities for up to five students every year to receive a scholarship that will completely cover their tuition, room, and board expenses for four years.

On Feb. 18, 91精选 became the newest member of the Phoenix Pact. The Phoenix Pact is a program that makes it possible for graduates of NLCP to attend the college where they are most likely to succeed, rather than having to settle for the college they can afford and access.

鈥淭his type of partnership fits in perfectly with 91精选鈥檚 mission and calling,鈥 said Jeremy Klyn, Director of Admissions at 91精选. 鈥淚 have seen many students from the Chicago area who badly want to attend 91精选. However, many cannot afford the cost of room and board at the college and do not have the resources to provide their own transportation, even though our campus is just a few miles from Chicago.鈥

By making it possible for students to enroll at 91精选 and live on campus, they are much more likely to succeed and graduate in four years. 鈥淭hat is the ultimate goal at 91精选,鈥 said Klyn.

鈥淥ur students represent some of the best and brightest in the City of Chicago,鈥 said Christopher Kelly, Chief Operating Officer at NLCP. 鈥淗owever, many of them are low-income or first-generation students, and they face many hurdles to attend a traditional four-year college. With 91精选 as the newest member of the Phoenix Pact, even more of our students will be able to realize their full potential and attend college.鈥

Up to five students who meet specific academic requirements in high school and are accepted to 91精选 are eligible for this award. Selected students will have their tuition, room and board expenses completely covered for four years.
