Over the summer of 2001 the program
conducted an Annual Alumni Survey to assess the progress of its graduates. Here are some of the highlights from our survey.

  • Since the program's inception in 1983, all of the Urban Scholars seniors have been accepted to at least two four-year colleges: 96% of these students have enrolled in college; 86% have either graduated or are still in school.
     
  • 11% of the students who have completed their undergraduate work, are now pursuing, or have completed Master's Degrees.
     
  • One student received a Master's in Fine Arts in creative writing from Brown University. Her first novel was published in the fall of 1993; her second novel was published in November 1994; her third was published in the fall of 1997.
     
  • One student has completed medical school, another received his Master's in Urban Planning from MIT, and another received her Master's in Psychology from Boston College.
     
  • Two students have Master's in Nursing, one from Syracuse University and the other from the University of Vermont.
     
  • One student received her Master's in Education from Harvard University last year, and another student received her Master's in Education from Cambridge College. One student received her Master's in Social Work from Simmons College.
     
  • One student received his law degree from Georgetown University Law Center and another student received her Masters Degree in Business Administration from Bentley College. Alumni are currently enrolled in Cambridge College, Lesley College, Northeastern, and Suffolk University.
     
  • In 1993, an alumna was one of 65 students nationally who was selected to receive the Watson Traveling Fellowship. She spent a year studying the political implications of West Indian music in the Caribbean.
