World Sport Chicago scholarship

Please note that this incredible $20K scholarship opportunity is open to

student-athletes of all ability levels, including those who participate in

Paralympic sport opportunities. I appreciate your support and assistance to

share this information widely as we had just 120 applicants last year. Surely

you know someone, or can pass this along to someone, who can help spread the

word to help these kids.

World Sport Chicago (WSC), the legacy organization of Chicago 2016’s Olympic and

Paralympic Bid, created the World Sport Chicago Scholarship Program to reward

Chicago high school student-athletes for their demonstrated commitment to

athletics, academics and the Olympic values of excellence, friendship and

respect. Up to 50 Chicago high school juniors will receive Kaplan ACT tutoring

and a year-long Chicago Scholars mentoring program, which guides students

through the college application process. The WSC Scholars will also have the

opportunity to interview for one of 10 renewable college scholarships worth up

to $5,000 annually ($20,000 total), supported by WSC and Chicago donors.
