America’s Promise Alliance and DeVry Announce Major Multi-Year Partnership to Increase High School and College Graduation Rates
The Wall Street Journal, Washington & Downers Grove, IL – July 22, 2010
America’s Promise Alliance (the Alliance) and DeVry Inc. today announced a major, multi-year partnership to help increase high school and college graduation rates across the country. The partnership will be a featured component of the Alliance’s Grad Nation campaign. Launched in March with the support of President Obama and Secretary Duncan, Grad Nation is a new 10-year campaign to mobilize all Americans to take action in their communities to end the high school dropout crisis and ultimately prepare young people for postsecondary education and the 21st century workforce. In support of the partnership, DeVry will donate $ 1.5 million to the Alliance, to be distributed over three years, and provide additional in-kind donations of up to $ 750,000 per year in each of 10 cities to support a key goal of both organizations — to see more young people earn a postsecondary or college degree.
