On Friday, December 9, more than 500 Uplift Education senior students from seven Uplift Education public charter schools participated in a “College March". The seniors dropped their college applications in the mail as fellow students cheered them on with help from the Uplift faculty and staff, family members, local business and community leaders. Many of the students that participated in the March are the first in their families to apply to college.
            
The participating schools included Uplift Heights, Uplift Hampton, Uplift Luna, Uplift North Hills, Uplift Peak Preparatory, Uplift Summit International Preparatory, and Uplift Williams.
 
Capital One Bank has supported the College March, which originated in the NYC Outward Bound Schools network, since its inception in 2011. Capital One Bank representatives and volunteers attended the local College March and participated in the pep rally assembly following the March.
