Scholarships

"...My parents were financially strapped in
those years because they had 7 children...They
could not afford much. With the Pullman [Scholarship] and
part-time jobs, I had an excellent start on my
educational career."
-Pamela, Ph.D
Class of 1969

Pullman Scholarships...

The George M. Pullman Educational Foundation maintains different types of scholarship programs, each designed to meet the needs of a specific group of college-bound students in Cook County. Each year, the Foundation provides financial assistance to students who are: First Year Candidates (high school seniors entering college) and Renewing Students (Pullman Scholars continuing in college). In 2009, a pilot program in collaboration with the Illinois Educational Foundation (IEF) began to award a small number of schlarships to students transferring from community colleges in Cook County, IL to four year colleges.
