UW’s long-term college prep program puts prospects in the pipeline

Raymond McCurty-Smith was a high school freshman in Milwaukee when he first heard about UW-Madison’s PEOPLE program from a teacher in his honors English class.
He said he understood immediately what it could mean to him and his family – what a great deal he could get with a full-tuition scholarship if he finished the program and kept up his grades. The program helps disadvantaged and minority youth prepare for college and, preferably, enroll at UW-Madison as freshmen.
