To advocate the importance of receiving an education by inspiring and encouraging underprivileged high school students who have achieved academic excellence, by rewarding them for their perseverance and determination despite their circumstances.

High school students living in low-income families drop out of school at SIX times the rate of their peers from high-income families.

High school dropouts are more likely to rely on government aid, to have worse health & shorter lives. 

Dropouts are EIGHT times more likely to end up in the criminal justice system.
