LINK Unlimited Scholars is a 50-year-old Chicago-based institution working to change the trajectory of high-potential African American youth, through unique programming and mentorship opportunities in the classroom and beyond. With educational support, mentors and financial subsidies, LINK provides the necessary backing to help close opportunity gaps and further ensure economic stability for our scholars. Since 1966, we have served over 2,500 scholars. LINK supports each scholar by providing college prep education, one-on-one mentoring, summer learning, personal leadership development, college access and success and career readiness. LINK scholars have attended many selective colleges and universities, and have moved on to become successful in their own right, as business professionals, educators, engineers, architects, attorneys, doctors and more. Many LINK alumni are now mentors of current LINK scholars.
