Below is an ever-evolving list of partners and resources that CPS alumni may wish to connect with to achieve success in college.
One Million Degrees (OMD) is a support program for students enrolled at all 7 City Colleges of Chicago campuses. OMD Scholars have access to four pillars of wraparound supports: Academic, financial, professional, and personal -- including things like free tutoring, financial supports via stipends and grants, monthly skills-building workshops, personal success coaches, and consistent check-ins with your dedicated OMD Program Coordinator. All of this leads OMD Scholars to be 94% more likely to persist!
Bottom Line is a nonprofit organization that provides free one-on-one advising and mentoring for first-generation college students from low-income backgrounds to get into college, graduate, and go far in life.
