2025​
We celebrated our graduating Scholars and all the ways our students, their families, and our community come together to Make It Happen!
 
Evanston Scholars’ 11th annual POMP! benefit was held Saturday, May 3, 2025 at Double Clutch Brewing Company in Evanston
 
At POMP!, we honored the 2025 Evanston Scholars College and High School graduates.  We invite you to learn about our Scholars, toast their successes, and participate in the community of people working to improve educational opportunities for Evanston youth.

Proceeds from POMP! provide programming and support services so that Evanston's first-generation students, students of color, and students from families with limited financial means have the resources to access and graduate from college and obtain strong jobs.
Congratulations to the Class of 2025!
