About the Program

While it is understood that students and families have the primary responsibility of paying for higher education, sometimes a family's resources are not enough to pay all college expenses.  The La Casa Student Housing Scholarship provides funds to Illinois students who (1) live at La Casa Student Housing; (2) have graduated from an Illinois high school within the last 6 years; (3) attend a degree granting college or university in Illinois that is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools; and (4) demonstrate financial need, based on careful review of the information provided on:

• a complete La Casa Student Housing Application;
• proof of household size and income; and
• a copy of the financial aid award letter provided by the college that you plan to attend.

Students are not required to submit grades or test scores when applying for a La Casa Student Housing Scholarship.  All residents of La Casa Student Housing are required to sign a La Casa Living-Learning Agreement.
