On Pittsburgh Promise from Essential Pittsburgh program on Essential Public Radio [of Pittsburgh]
"This spring, hundreds of Pennsylvania college students will graduate from four-year colleges with the help of the Pittsburgh Promise. It’s a model scholarship fund that combines support from the city, the public school system, foundations and potential employers. The idea is to keep Pennsylvania students in state for college, reform urban schools and attract residents to Pittsburgh. Saleem Ghubril, executive director of the Pittsburgh Promise, talks about the program so far and what they hope to accomplish."
