    These scholarships are available to students who are not currently enrolled in City Colleges of Chicago, including applicants who are recent high school graduates, mature students and adult education students seeking enrollment in certificate or credit programs. 
  • Scholarship for Current Students:
     
    An additional scholarship opportunity is available to current City Colleges of Chicago students and can be used towards the completion of their current certificate or degree program.
Both types of scholarship will cover tuition towards the completion of a degree or certificate for a period not to exceed two-and-one-half years from the date of the award.
