The contribution will support DAPI’s 2016 Summer Credit Recovery
Program, which gives Delaware high school students the opportunity
to earn credit for coursework they were unable to complete during
the regular academic year, keeping them on track for high school
graduation.
“We are grateful for Navient’s contribution. Helping teen
parents graduate from high school and teaching them the value of a
college education is one of our most important goals,” said Lucy
O’Donnell, executive director, DAPI. “We have a 100 percent
graduation rate for students who participate in this program, and
83 percent of our graduates have been accepted into a college or
university.”
The 2016 Summer Credit Recovery Program is held at each of the
DAPI’s campuses in Kent, New Castle and Sussex counties.
“We are proud to help support the Delaware Adolescent Program,
Inc. and its efforts in encouraging students to get back on
track and pursue higher education,” said Sheila Ryan-Macie, senior
vice president, Navient. “Completing college impacts every aspect
of a person’s professional and financial life.”
Educational attainment is a significant factor in financial
health, according to new research from Navient and Ipsos.
Bachelor's degree recipients ages 22 to 35 are more likely to be in
good or excellent financial health than their peers without a
college degree (92 percent compared to 80 percent).
