How Can I Support?

Give towards a scholarship 

Financial scholarships help go towards a Scholar that is challenging the narrative. Whether that be their first year as an incoming freshman or a senior that’s about to transition into the world of the workforce in their career. You can also donate to the annual retreat that allows students to prepare themselves before they embark on their new journey.

Sponsor a care package

Care packages are important for our scholars to give them a glimpse at their home away from home, and to show our scholars that we are thinking of them. This consists of toiletries, school supplies, and Chicago native foods or snacks. The care packages allow students to have necessities and essentials that they might not be able to get on their own, and it also serves as a “pick-me-up”. Pursue plans to allocate $50 per scholar for their care package. In the package there will be shampoo, conditioner, lotion, scrunchies, notebooks, pens, and a small personalized item that is significant to the respective scholar.
