Adriana Gonzalez, a member of the Waukegan High School class of 2014, shares how the Schuler Scholars program helped her navigate the college admission process as a first-generation college student. The program has supported over 1,800 students in 14 high schools, including more than 300 from Waukegan High School.
As a member of the Waukegan High School class of 2014, Waukegan Community Unit School District 60 Board of Education member Adriana Gonzalez learned how to navigate the college admission process as a Schuler Scholar.
Schuler Scholars graduating in 2027 from Waukegan High, six other schools in Lake County and 14 overall, will be the last in a program starting to significantly decelerate now and ending in four years because its funding resources have lost significant value. Aaron Arnold, the executive director of Waukegan to College, said Friday his organization will receive 100% of the Schuler Scholars who are Waukegan High School students.
Bell said the goal is to guide students through the admission process, and help them succeed when they get there. The process is not complete until a college diploma is earned. They start working with teens in their sophomore year of high school. “A team will be there through August to help the seniors transition to college, and prepare the juniors for the college admission process,” Katz said. “They will still get their scholarship,” he added, referring to a $10,000 grant.
