​POMP! is all about celebrating our graduating Scholars.

Although we can’t yet gather in person, nothing will stop this year’s special POMP! to recognize our graduating Scholars and celebrate Evanston Scholars’ 10th Anniversary. On Friday, May 7, Evanston Scholars will host its second virtual POMP!

At POMP! 2021, you'll hear from Scholars as they share their personal stories of what it's been like to attend college during the pandemic. A stirring feature of the program will be our first-ever Virtual Toast, celebrating the graduates as well as Evanston Scholars' 10-year anniversary. You'll meet the Scholars and learn about the impact of your support as we celebrate 10 years and take a look into the future.

Proceeds from POMP! provide programming and support services to empower Evanston students who are first-generation college, students of color, and students from families with limited financial means to graduate from college and obtain strong jobs.
