“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”— Benjamin Franklin
A college degree can add as much as a million dollars to a person’s lifetime earnings—and cut the risk of long-term employment in half. That’s why Foundations of East Chicago has awarded more than $2.3 million in scholarships to East Chicago students. We have invested in East Chicago’s public and parochial schools, including $5.5 million in books, and building and grounds’ improvement—because it is not enough to send young people to college. We have to prepare them to succeed once they get there.
