ge graduates are employed. It is clear that education is the "silver bullet" that can end poverty, not only for the graduating student but for the successive generations that will come after.
Project Discovery believes that hardworking, meritorious students should not be deprived of an opportunity to attend college simply because of a lack of funding. Our vision is to see that every student graduate from high school and every student who has the desire and demonstrates the ability, be able to attend post-secondary education.
Project Discovery's students are:
68% female; 32% male
72% Black; 19% White; 5% Hispanic; 4% Other
91% are both under income and first generation; or only first generation or only under income
93% of graduating seniors in the Class of 2009 enrolled in Post Secondary Education after graduation.".
