The purposes of the Program are to:
(1) Encourage low–income Maryland high school students to attend and complete college;
(2) Connect potential college and university students with nonprofit organizations that have a history of successful higher education outcomes for targeted youth;
(3) Create an equal matching fund for nonprofit organizations to access in order to increase college outreach services to low–income students;
(4) Provide funding for nonprofit organizations that are already established in communities to provide targeted outreach to encourage low–income students to enroll in college; and
(5) Establish a 5–year pilot program to determine if the Program can lead to an increase in low–income students attending and succeeding in college.
