SMART’s impact is clear:
-
Since 2011, 100% of SMART Scholars have graduated high-school and 95% have matriculated to college, compared to an 83% high school graduation rate in California and a nationwide 51% college matriculation rate of their low-income peers.
-
SMART Scholars are 4 times more likely to graduate from a 4-year college currently, and 87% of SMART who entered college in the past 6 years have either graduated or are still persisting in college.
