​POMP! is all about celebrating our graduating Scholars.

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

At POMP! 2021, we heard from Scholars as they shared their personal stories of what it's been like to attend college during the pandemic. A stirring feature of the program was our first-ever Virtual Toast, celebrating the graduates as well as Evanston Scholars' 10-year anniversary. We met the Scholars and learned about the impact of your support as we celebrated 10 years and took 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.
