Grant Proposal Brainstorm

I would like the grant to focus on Access to Higher Education. It is imperative to support the children who may have not be born into the best situations an opportunity to academically succeed. Specifically, these students mostly come from low income families. Introducing the importance of a High School diploma and a College degree at younger ages, such as, at the middle school level still leaves them time to build a firm foundation for academic success. The program will help the children view Higher Education as attainable, and give them the building blocks to reach their goals.
With Siena students running the program one will be incorporating service learning. Using Siena College students from English, Mathematics, and Science Majors to help tutor the students get on track to good grades.
Providing students who are in dire need of academic attention help build a education pathway to success, the Siena College students will gain experience in their desired field.
