Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Wichita Falls, TX

Total Budget: $3,500

Area of Focus: None

Activity Type: Education: General

Summary: Encourage Elementary School Students & their Families to commit, prepare & study to study to enter College


The Road to College program was developed to reach students early in their educational careers and begins involving them during junior high school. The program works with families and students encouraging them to think about and plan for post-secondary education. It is a rigorous six week summer "boot camp" that promotes a culture of high expectations, providing students with instruction in reading, writing, math, supportive guidance and physical activity.

Research demonstrates that economically disadvantaged students lose gains made during the school year when they lack exposure to academic enrichment activities over the summer. Through the Road to College Program, partially funded through a Rotary District 5790 Grant in cooperation with the Rotary Club of Southwest Wichita Falls, this project grew from 20 students to 52 students over 2 years. This project will take place during the summer of 2017 and will move to a new location to serve at least 60 students.

The Total Budget from all sources is $47510; funding for all but $3500 is covered, The contribution from SW Rotary of Wichita Falls is $3500.
