<H2>MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS SCHOOL YEAR 2020-2021</H2>
<p>In an attempt to strengthen the Society's commitment to benevolence and to give something
back to the Chicago area that has provided a home and support for early Swiss immigrants, the
committee decided to make scholarships available for underprivileged yet ambitious students in
the Chicago area.</p>
<p>The members of the Education Committee identified George Westinghouse College Prep, Lane
Tech College Prep High School, and Gwendolyn Brooks College Preparatory Academy in
Chicago as target schools to work with. All three have a high college attendance rate among its
graduates and are among the most successful in the Chicago Public School system. They also
have a significant percentage of low income and minority students.</p>
<p>We are currently awarding four merit and need based scholarships to college bound students
who are attending one of the three Chicago public high schools identified above. We work
directly with college counselors, who identify a group of deserving students. Students then apply
to the Society and the winners are chosen based on their background, grades, and essays.
Students who apply are generally highly motivated young people with ambitious personal and
educational goals.</p>
