Research

Each year PAVE's board conducts a thorough evaluation of the effectiveness of its scholarship program by examining graduation rates of PAVE-participating students and their success after high school. The results are presented in a yearly graduation report; graduation reports are available in hardcopy upon request.

PAVE's board also encourages independent researchers to explore high priority topics in urban education.

Listed below is a sampling of research that PAVE has participated during the last decade. Executive summaries and press released are available below. To request a hardcopy of any report, click here.
