By contributing to Project GRAD, you are supporting a research-based, proven reform effort that is more than just programs or a structure: it is a stable delivery system for unstable and under-funded school districts and a partner with economically disadvantaged communities who champion access to college for their children.
Project GRAD believes that all students in high-need, low-income schools can graduate from high school and pursue a college degree. Over fifteen years, GRAD’s work in low-income schools around the country has demonstrated that academic preparation, high expectations for all students, real and perceived college affordability, as well as peer, parent, and community influences play a vital role in ensuring that all students have the opportunity to learn and achieve at high levels
As a partner with 12 communities across the country seeking to create a college-bound culture for over 121,900 students, GRAD is deeply committed to advancing the vision of high school graduation and college success for all.
We ask that you join us in this commitment.
When you support Project GRAD, approximately 92 cents of every dollar you contribute goes directly into schools, scholarships, and innovative programming that improves some of our nation’s most at-risk schools and provides college access to thousands of deserving students.
We believe that it is through a quality public education and postsecondary success that our youth - our nation’s future - will truly gain access to our country’s economic, social, and political opportunities.
