Project GRAD (GRAD) is a non-profit education reform model serving 132,000 economically disadvantaged youth in 211 schools across the nation. Over 90% of GRAD students are low-income and 91% are minority. GRAD has a proven track record nationwide in increasing high school graduation and college attendance rates for low-income students. The national Project GRAD model has grown from a scholarship program which began in partnership with Houston Independent School District in 1989.

Today, Project GRAD Houston is at work in five feeder patterns of Houston ISD, serving 66 schools and over 45,000 children — 22.98% of the school district's total school population and approximately 24% of its total at-risk population.
