One-hundred percent. Its the ultimate marker of achievement, success, and completion.
Charity Navigator - an organization that rates the efficacy of non-profits worldwide - awarded SEO Scholars with just that: a perfect score. Here's what makes SEO so unique.
Imagine spending an extra FOUR years worth of time in high school just to learn as much as your future college peers. Well each year more than 870 students from low-income areas in NYC actually do.
SEO Scholars -- a free eight-year academic program that gets students to and through college -- provides rigorous supplemental education to low-income high school students that amounts to FOUR additional years of instruction.
These dedicated students give up their Saturdays and summers to break the cycle of poverty through education -- and it pays off. SEO Scholars boasts a 90% college graduation rate, versus a 20% graduation rate for students from similar backgrounds.
