Endowed Scholarships & Community Scholars
Scholarship Dinner provides us with the opportunity to recognize the leaders in our community
championing financial aid at Latin School of Chicago. Building Latin's scholarship resources through
endowed scholarships and the Community Scholars program is critical to our mission to increase access to
a Latin education.
Endowed scholarships and the Community Scholars program are ongoing opportunities for members of
our community to significantly advance the school's financial aid program. Endowed scholarships provide
a permanent source of income to help meet the immediate needs of
exceptional students who have been admitted to Latin, but cannot
attend without financial assistance. The Community Scholars
program also helps to meet this need. Through generous multi-
year grants, Community Scholar donors support students
throughout their Latin career.
"Without great teachers who cared about me, without the
opportunities provided by financial aid awards during
those early years, I would not be who I am; a
venture capitalist, a champion of education and
education technology, a former Fortune 500
executive at Google, a donor, a volunteer.
Thank you."
