Students attending high schools in the city of Chicago and graduating in the top 20 percent of their class are eligible for a scholarship of up to $10,000 per year, provided they have not received another Knox academic scholarship. Chicago Scholarships recognize the special relationship between Knox and the City of Big Shoulders. Founded the same year as Knox (1837), Chicago is home to more of our alumni than any other city.

To be considered, simply apply for admission by February 1. A separate application is not required.

For more information, contact the Office of Admission.
