The Mattie J. Moore Memorial Scholarship was created to honor the life and legacy of the late Mattie J. Moore., who graduated from Kennedy-King College when it was known as Wilson Junior College.

Founded by her daughter, Professor S. Moore, a tenured professor at Kennedy-King College, this scholarship reflects both Mattie’s dedication to education and City Colleges of Chicago’s mission to promote and support academic success.

This scholarship will carry forward Mattie J. Moore’s legacy of resilience, education, and opportunity.

The cumulative impact of a gift to CCCF is far-reaching. Contributions support: innovative programming that prepares students for the future workforce and transfer opportunities, creative partnerships including the strongest-ever relationship with the Chicago Public Schools, scholarships that create access to a quality, affordable education, and student supports from emergency funding to housing coordination that ensure City Colleges is meeting the needs of all students. CCCF donors help put students on the path to upward mobility and ultimately create a more robust and inclusive Chicago economy.
