Foster Youth Win Free Tuition at Columbia | Chicago News
Description
Columbia College Chicago is breaking ground as the first private school in Illinois to offer free tuition and full support to foster youth — including mentorship, admissions help, and graduation resources — empowering students like 18-year-old Kamyrrah Mobley, who’s now heading to college after years in foster care. Dr. Emmanuel Lalande, a former foster youth himself and senior VP at Columbia, leads this mission with deep personal insight. The college is teaming up with CASA of Cook County, which is hosting a trunk party to collect dorm essentials — donate at casacookcounty.org/trunk.
