College Scholarships

Chicago Housing Authority Scholarships:

The college scholarship program is only for current residents of the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) currently listed on a CHA lease. The applicant must plan to enroll in an accredited post-secondary institution in the fall. Accordingly, applicants can include current high school seniors, undergraduate students continuing their studies, or adults seeking to start a post-secondary program in the fall.  Applications typically open at the start of the calendar year and need to be submitted early May. Check the website for specifics and information on how to apply.
