Determined To Succeed identifies motivated, low-income 5th grade students who show an exceptional determination to succeed, but who are at risk of getting lost in the system.

Beginning in 6th grade, continuing through 12th grade and into college, our program provides the year-round academic and enrichment resources they need to succeed in middle and high school, so that they may successfully apply, be accepted and succeed in college.

Our goal is 100% college enrollment.
