CROSO is dedicated to making possible the transformation of Ugandan communities by providing post-secondary education scholarships to former street children in Uganda.
We believe providing our scholars with access to higher education gives them the tools to provide for themselves and their families for the rest of their lives. Our scholarship is unique in that our scholars can study at any post-secondary institution in Uganda (university, college or technical school) and can pursue a course that is specific to their skills, talents and dreams. Armed with the academic skills, career skills (learned through their internships) and a new professional network, our graduates have the ability to become leaders in their communities!
The Countdown is On!
Join us on May 10th from 12:30–2:30 PM at Morton’s (699 Skokie Blvd, Northbrook, IL) for a special CROSO fundraiser lunch. Enjoy a three-course meal (your choice of filet mignon, salmon, chicken, or a vegetarian option) plus a drink ticket—all for $100. Together, we’ll celebrate CROSO’s incredible impact in providing post-secondary scholarships to former street children in Uganda. Your support directly helps empower these young people to build brighter, more promising futures. We look forward to seeing you there!
