By providing middle school students with resources and mentors, the University of Memphis hopes to increase college graduation rates for African American men.
African American males were among the least likely demographic to graduate with a bachelor's degree within six years,the National Center for Education Statistics. Thanks to the Memphis Advantage scholarship program, University of Memphis President M. David Rudd said six-year graduation rates for African American male students more than doubled.
"The University of Memphis is uniquely positioned to provide African American male students with a continuity of support that includes evidence-based best practices to enhance student success," vice president of Student Academic Success Karen Weddle-West said in a statement. "We've worked diligently to identify and develop solutions for the greatest challenges facing our students," Rudd said in a statement."I'm proud of the progress we have made and hope to continue further with The African American Male Academy."
