College Graduation Study Shows Bottom Line Highly Effective
The Boston Private Industry Council released a study showing that only 35.5% of students from the Boston Public School's class of 2000 who began attending college graduated within 7 years. This may have shocked many people, and has already been hailed as a wake-up call for our community. However, this new study only proves what we have argued since our founding in 1997, that students from urban areas, especially first-generation college students from low-income families, are not succeeding once they reach a college campus. It is possible to help these students graduate. 72% of Bottom Line's students have graduated from college in 6 years or less! View a copy of the Boston Graduation Study.

To get some additional insight about Bottom Line's Success after the release of the Boston Private Industry Council study on Boston graduation rates, WBZ-TV4 sent reporter Dawn Hasbrouck to our office to talk with some students and learn more about how we help students get in and stay in school. Watch the video excerpt from the news broadcast.
Bottom Line - Worcester opened on July 1st 2008!
There is no doubt that students in Boston need the support and guidance of Bottom Line. Since we helped our first high school senior begin the college application process 10 years ago, we have worked with more than 2,000 students, and every year that number is growing more rapidly. We know there is a need for our services, and that need goes well beyond Boston.
This summer, we have opened our first office outside of Boston- in Worcester, Massachusetts. In our first year in Worcester, we expect to serve 75 high school seniors who are the first in their family to go to college or who come from low income families. We are especially excited that one of our own alumni, Ginette Saimprevil (New Mission High School, '00 and Bowdoin College '04) has moved to Worcester to lead that effort. Check out the story from the Worcester Telegram and Gazette.
Bottom Line's Wellesley Board Members Featured in Newspaper!
For the last several years, Bottom Line has been building a fantastic base of support from the suburban community of Wellesley. This winter a local newspaper featured an article about the three members of our Board of Directors from Wellesley, Viola Morse, Peter Pavlina and Peter Bishop. Each has made a great contribution to the expansion of our organization and has been spreading the word in their community. Read the Wellesley Townsman article!
