Project GRAD Houston

Project GRAD Houston (Graduation Really Achieves Dreams), is a non-profit[1] based in Houston, United States, providing free college access, college success, and career advising services.

Project GRAD's mission is to improve lives in low-income communities by helping individuals develop and achieve their educational aspirations.

This is where the college preparatory program was founded more than two decades ago to assist financially needy students at problematic institutions.

However, this model continued to be practiced in some areas which include Alaska, Atlanta, and Los Angeles.

Project GRAD uses its yearly budget ($4 million) for 18 employees and 23 AmeriCorps (voluntary civil society program that the US federal government supports) members in area non-profit offices as well as universities.
