"PROJECT SUCCESS" APPEARS TO BE, WELL, A SUCCESS

The Hillsborough Education Foundation in Hillsborough County Fla., a charitable organization that invests community resources to help students achieve, has found that even with effective programming and dedicated faculty and staff, more is required to ensure students succeed. In the foundation's eyes, "success" includes not only completing high school but making progress in post-secondary life. This formed the foundation for Project SUCCESS, in which the foundation promised to help financially students who wanted to obtain a career certificate or further their education. Before the program was implemented, only two graduates pursued post-secondary education. After the program's launch, 23 graduates took advantage of the scholarships. Not surprisingly, attendance, graduation and job placement rates all went up.
