Collegiate Scholars Program
Founded in 2003 and operated through the University of Chicago's Office of Civic Engagement, the Collegiate Scholars Program (CSP) is a three year program designed to encourage high achieving and underrepresented Chicago Public Schools students to apply to and succeed at highly selective colleges and universities.
-
CSP is shaped around a core curriculum of humanities, social science, math, and science courses.
-
During the summer months, scholars are taught by University of Chicago faculty and PhD candidates.
-
Enrichment activities during the academic year are geared toward college readiness, leadership development, civic engagement and cultural exploration.
CSP is now accepting applications for the Class of 2023 (current 9th grade students in Chicago Public Schools). The application is due on February 18, 2020. APPLY HERE!
