nd graciously established a partnership with HFS in an effort to

make our one-on-one mentoring program available to more high school students at their schools. This year, Big

Shoulders is providing partial scholarships to HFS sophomores attending Big Shoulders Fund-supported high

schools. The Big Shoulders Fund, long a supporter of HFS, has been a champion for Chicago’s inner-city families

since 1986, raising over $10M a year for Catholic elementary and high schools. HFS Chicago Scholars is honored to

collaborate with Big Shoulders for a second year in support of our scholars.
