City Colleges of Chicago will celebrate the more than 600 students expected to graduate from City Colleges as part of the Star Scholarship program. Now in its third year, the Chicago Star Scholarship has helped more than 4,500 CPS graduates – representing more than 75 zip codes and more than 200 high schools citywide – to enroll in college at no cost. To date, Star Scholars have earned more than $2.6 million in scholarship offers from the more than twenty four-year college and university transfer partners. Over 200 Star Scholars who graduated from the Chicago Public Schools in 2015 have already transferred to four-year colleges and universities, including: DePaul University, Dominican University, Governors State University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Loyola University, National Louis University, Northwestern University, North Park University, Roosevelt University and the University of Illinois at Chicago. Students in the Star Scholarship program are projected to graduate at a rate double the national average for first-time, full-time students at two-year public institutions, according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center.  Now more than two-thirds of Star Scholars are Latino, and 62 percent are female. This program is open to undocumented students as well as to students attending CPS charter schools.
