    The Gift of Opportunity

    For a lot of people, college is defined by school, parties, etc. But as an undergraduate, Michael Carter rolled up his sleeves and founded Strive for College, a mentoring program to help low-income students apply for a higher education. Hear how this BHSI fellow has done some A+ work helping hundreds of students enter four-year colleges.
