What is Project Discovery?

Project Discovery, offered in local schools and guided by local community leaders, has proven to be an effective motivating mechanism to encourage students to remain in school and to pursue higher education after graduation. Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Project Discovery allows today’s students to achieve their highest potential to become productive citizens in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Project Discovery works through 22 partner agencies in 19 locations, providing programs in 145 schools. Project Discovery combines a nationally recognized curriculum of workshops that improve study skills, time management, and financial planning with assistance to students and parents applying for both admissions and financial aid.
