Detroit Group Wants Scholarships for All Public-School Graduates

The Detroit College Promise, a nonprofit group, wants to provide full college scholarships to every Detroit public-school graduate, reports the Associated Press.

The group will start a pilot program at one Detroit public school in 2009. The organization will support the scholarships with money raised from corporations and individuals and says it needs $500,000 to kick off the pilot program.
