Mission Statement

The mission of Project Excel is to engage and involve parents, local educational institutions, community based organizations, businesses, professionals and faith based organizations in the academic preparation of Black African-American and Native-American scholars in grades 5 through 12 for enrollment in a four-year college or university. Every student that is accepted into Project Excel is individually counseled, mentored and tutored so that he or she reaches this goal. We will actively recruit students scholars from local area schools and prepare them for college enrollment, retention, matriculation and graduation.
