Black Male Success Model Grant to Robert Morris from the New Pittsburgh Courier
"With an unemployment rate of more than 14 percent for African-Americans, almost twice the national average, and reports that Black men are far less likely to graduate from high school or even attend college, Robert Morris University is committed to turning around the statistics. With a $900,000 grant from the Heinz Endowment, the university announced they will create the RMU Research Center on Black Male Educational Student Success to identify the factors of successful African-American males to develop a model for educational achievement that can be emulated."
