Chicago Public Schools students who graduate high school with a 3.0 GPA and who test completion-ready in math and English are able to pursue a degree or certificate at City Colleges at no cost—that’s free tuition and books.
If you’re a graduating CPS student with a 3.0, keep up the good work and you, too, could benefit from City Colleges’ Star Scholarship program!

A plan to give students time off from school to vote passed out of the Senate last week.
I'm spearheading this effort to encourage youth voting after I co-sponsored a "March to the Polls" and students weren't allowed to participate during school hours.
This effort is intended to help and encourage our young people to understand the importance of voting early on. We should make voting easy and accessible for everyone all across Illinois, including our students.
