Adolfo Ramirez

For Adolfo Ramirez, the Panther Pride scholarship is more than financial assistance—it’s a stepping stone toward his dreams. Adolfo is a proud South Sider and first-generation American who is entering his second year at Olive-Harvey College, where he is pursuing an associate degree in business/economics.

With the support of the Panther Pride scholarship, an award for Olive-Harvey College students administered by the City Colleges of Chicago Foundation, Adolfo is building the foundation for his future. After completing his associate degree, he plans to transfer to a four-year university to earn a bachelor’s degree in business management. His ultimate goal is to become the CEO or president of a company.

“My educational pursuits would not be possible without the generous support from this scholarship,” said Adolfo.
