2012 AT&T Aspire Local High School Impact Initiative request for proposal is now open
3/8/2012
AT&T’s
Local Impact RFP will provide funding for currently operating high
school retention programs consisting of elements aligned to the What
Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Dropout Prevention Practice Guide. AT&T is
looking to support organizations that are ready to expand to serve
additional students or locations, or to add components to strengthen
successful programs. Payments ranging from $100,000 to $300,000 for 24
months (2012-14) are available for local programs that emphasize:
- Service to high school students at-risk of dropping out of
school, particularly 9th graders or students in transition from 8th to
9th grade
- Intervening quickly with targeted services to help these students re-engage
- Increasing students’ chances of earning a high school diploma
- Preparing students for college and/or career
- Providing substantial data to demonstrate positive outcomes
The RFP deadline is April 27, 2012. Visit

Local High School Impact Initiative team will review and evaluate all
those who respond to the RFP and make determinations as to eligibility
