PROJECT GRAD Akron is a comprehensive school improvement program in the Buchtel Cluster of the Akron Public Schools that provides academic, social and scholarship support to more than 2,600 students and their families.  As a community-based, nonprofit organization established in 2002, it is part of a national initiative aimed at improving the success of urban school students to eventually graduate from high school and enter and complete college or an accredited technical school.

Project GRAD Akron students who meet the program's requirements while pursuing their secondary school studies will be awarded a one-time $4,000 college scholarship.  

Project GRAD Akron is one of 12 national sutes, including sites in Columbus, Cincinnati and Lorain.  It begins in the elementary schools with programs that produce a pipeline of students motivated to graduate from high school and pursue higher education.  The programs that have been implemented into the Buchtel Cluster curriculum include:  MOVE IT MATH, Consistency Management and Cooperative Discipline strategies, Campus Family Support, the Summer institute and College Scholarships.  Intensive year-round, professional development services are offered to 200+ educators.

Under the leadership of Dr. Flora N. Dees and Akron Superintendent Dr. Sylvster Small, Project GRAD Akron is beginning to yield impressive results.

Roger and Judy Read Challenge Grant

Roger and Judy Read, well-known, active members of the Greater Akron community and 1959 and 1958 Buchtel High School graduates, have extended their philanthropic spirit and support to Project GRAD Akron.  The couple will match seven scholarship pledges that are a minimum of $4,000 and are paid in three years or less.  Their matching grant will be designated to benefit those students who have met the Project GRAD Akron guidelines and wish to pursue a two- or four- year professional or technical degree program.

The Project GRAD Akron College Scholarship Challenge Grant is designed to grow the college scholarship fund that was established with gifts of $300,000 and $100,000 respectively from the John S. and James L. Knight and GAR foundations.  As part of the Project GRAD Akron effort to increase the number of Buchtel High School graduates prepared to pursue a higher education, the initiative offers students up to $4,000 in college scholarships if they:

* Maintain a 93 percent high school attendance rate
* Maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.5 in required courses
* Pass state-mandated, standardized, and college assessment tests
* Attend two Summer Institutes on a university or college campus
* Graduate from high school within a four-year-period
