(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — A small Catholic girls’ school in the western suburbs has come up big when it comes to college scholarship offers to its seniors.
This is the time of year many high schools do some well-earned bragging about the amount of college scholarship money offered to their seniors.
Trinity High School in River Forest is among them.
College counselor Katie Granholm said the school’s 117 graduates racked up $39.5 million in scholarship offers.
"At the end of every one of those college scholarships is a student whose life has been changed, a student who now has really meaningful and significant opportunities,” Granholm said.
Among the scholarships is a $10,00-a-year Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship; two Chick Evans caddie scholarships, and, to one student, full scholarships to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and to Northern Illinois University.
Trinity graduates have been accepted to more than 200 colleges and universities, including ones in Japan, France and England.
Trinity High School has 382 total students.
