Race For Education

Since its inception the organization has awarded over $2, 500, 000 in college scholarships and will award approximately an additional $380, 000 in 2010. The Race For Education's objective goes beyond getting students though college financially. Our goal is to supply mentoring, tutoring and partnership along with financial support, with the ultimate aim of making sure students are successful in life and become an asset to their community. Although the most of the students involved in The Race For Education program come from high risk and extreme need backgrounds, the graduation rate is over 70%
