Overview
Brief Program Summary: The Indianapolis Urban League (IUL) Project Ready Program is a
year-long education program designed to assist 9th-12th grade students with matriculating
through high school and navigating college. Students are provided with academic, life skills,
cultural, social, leadership and academic support through mentoring. The Project Ready Program
uses an evidence-based curriculum developed jointly by the National Urban League and City
University of New York (CUNY), and is comprised of three (3) major components: Academic
Development, Social Development, and College Culture Awareness.
Success Metrics: The Indianapolis Urban League is contracted to enroll 225 students into the
Project Ready Program. Program success is determined by the number of students successfully
completing an Individual College Development Plan (ICDP), increased number of students
matriculating to the next grade level or graduating from high school, increased number of students
attending college tours, increased number of students completing FASFA forms, increased
number of students applying to college, increased number of students joining the military,
increased number of students entering workforce, increased number of students receiving
remediation or tutoring, and increased number of students receiving financial literature or
instruction.
