Funding Student Success: the economic Impact of a Graduate

Your donation will provide support to students that otherwise could not afford to return to school and earn their diploma, making an impact for them and their community.

“Using 2023 dollars... from a social perspective, graduating high school rather than withdrawing yields the benefit of $480,000 per high school graduate over a lifetime. The economic burden related to students withdrawing from high school without graduating is high, reflecting lost earnings — which has implications for the individual and society — as well as worse health outcomes and greater spending on crime. And from a taxpayer perspective, new high school graduates also result in higher revenues and lower government spending to the tune of $148,000 over a lifetime.”

— Kirby, A. "Research highlights long-term economic impacts of addressing barriers to high school graduation. " CSBA Blog. 4 August, 2023.
