Impact
As of 2019, the median household income in Chicago is $61,811. With over half of our applicants attending post-secondary institutions in Illinois and 31.5% of them attending private post-secondary institutions in Illinois, at least one third of our applicants spend 47% of their income on higher educational tuition alone.
For our private elementary students, families are spending between 21 and 24 percent of their income on tuition in our highest serving zip codes.
The Endurance Scholarship provides financial support to Chicagoland students and families of color as they pursue their collegiate, vocational, and private elementary educations.
