100 Black Men of Maryland, Inc.'s College Access Program (100 CAP)
The Higher Education Pipeline
According to the National College Access Network, despite the obvious personal and financial benefits that accrue to an individual who obtains a college degree and the current and future demand by employers for the more highly-educated workers, not nearly enough of our population is enrolling in or graduating from college. Two key factors that prevent many of these students from attending college are (1) their limited knowledge of the cost and benefits of gaining a college degree, and (2) their limited access to financial resources The Appeal Maryland's businesses and corporate leaders are uniquely positioned to understand the urgency of this situation. We appeal to them to take advantage of the opportunity to make the investments necessary for more students to receive better access to college and that they have the financial and academic support to graduate. The Opportunity The 100 Black Men of Maryland, Inc. in partnership with the Baltimore County Public Schools and the Office of the Baltimore County Executive, has been awarded a two year grant to start a College Access Program at Dundalk and Woodlawn High School. The goals of our current 100 CAP fundraising campaign are to (1) raise matching funds of $40,000.00 in order to receive the second year of funding from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation and (2) raise $300,000.00 by 2008 in order to expand the program to all high schools in Baltimore County. We respectfully urge you to join us in this partnership by making a contribution today. Your financial support will be an invaluable asset to the success of 100 CAP.
