College Bound Initiative Program

The purpose of the program is to set a path for students to reach their goals of attending college. Toward this end, the General Electric Fund renewed Madison’s grant for $250,000 to: increase the percentage of students who attend college, provide an educational climate that promotes quality students, and develop the desire for self-determination in students who are academically responsible.
