Grayslake-based College of Lake County has received a five-year, $1.98 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to continue funding the Educational Talent Search program. It is among federal programs that provide disadvantaged youth with connections to high-quality tutoring and counseling services to improve financial aid literacy and planning for postsecondary education. Each year, CLC offers free college-planning services to 828 students attending high schools in North Chicago, Round Lake, Waukegan and Zion.
