Desperately seeking Mentors!!

The HEAR Foundation is delighted to announce that in May 2019 we will be awarding up to 30 new college scholarships to high school graduates in financial need, who have shown perseverance and demonstrated academic excellence. Many of these students are first-generation college-goers in their family.

critical essay on revelation Did you know? Almost a third of first-generation students drop out of college in the first year. There are numerous reasons why this happens but often it is because they are overwhelmed by the journey ahead of them and they have no one to turn to for advice. The pressure of trying to succeed on their own is just too much.

https://philmckinney.com/help-writing-illustration-essay/ The good news? You can help our incoming HEAR Class of 2023 navigate their way on this new and exciting journey and help them to succeed in college. What’s more, you will feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that you personally made a difference in someone’s life.

We are currently focussing attention on recruiting mentors for the HEAR Class of 2023. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in learning more about becoming a mentor (or are ready to volunteer your services), and want to make a meaningful difference in a young person’s life – whilst at the same time no doubt enriching your own – please contact us at info@hearfoundation.org. We look forward to hearing from you.

This could be you at our next annual fundraiser. Matt is one of our most dedicated mentors. He has supported Nick, a HEAR Class of 2019 scholar, throughout his four years of college.

Our Annual Awards Ceremony at St. Ignatius College Prep on May 8th was very successful . We welcomed our newest class of HEAR Scholars into the HEAR Family and celebrated our graduating HEAR Class of 2017.

Our Keynote Speaker, Dr. Toinette McClellan Gunn (Vice President of Programs at Chicago Scholars), was on point and resonated with our past, present and future scholars as she shared her own story of how she persevered throughout her years as a student both at high school and through college. Despite many barriers Dr. Gunn, herself a first-generation college goer, understood how important education is to a successful future. We are incredibly grateful to her for taking time out of her busy schedule to talk to our scholars.
