The City Colleges of Chicago Foundation works to provide scholarships for students from all backgrounds. Â
One such scholarship, the Dempsey Travis Scholarship, is named in honor the founder and president of Travis Realty Corporation, a prominent Chicago real estate development firm committed to the revitalization of neighborhoods on the South Side. Mr. Travis believed that individuals can lift themselves up by their bootstraps and become successful leaders in their communities. Â
“To receive any kind of assistance has been a blessing, as I am the first person from my family to go to college, and later in life at that!” Â
First-generation college students like Anthony make up nearly half of City Colleges graduates. You too can make a direct impact on our students by giving to one of many student-supporting funds. Learn more at www.ccc.edu/impact. Â
