getting almost anywhere you want to go,
if you really want to go.

ABOUT THE USC NEIGHBORHOOD ACADEMIC INITIATIVE
2014 NAI GALA COMMITTEE MEMBERS
NAI is a seven-year pre-college, comprehensive, rigorous educational program operated by USC Civic Engagement. NAI prepares low-income, first generation, under-represented, minority students living in the neighborhoods surrounding USC for access and success at a college or university. Those who complete the
program, meet USC’s competitive admission requirements, and choose to attend USC, are awarded a full financial package minus loans. Many NAI students are the
first in their family to graduate from high school and in most cases they are the first in their family to attend college. NAI boasts a 100% high school graduation rate and a 98% college attendance rate. NAI Scholars are accepted to and attend
top prestigious universities and colleges across the country including USC, Harvard, Stanford and UCLA. The NAI program garnered national media
attention and serves as a model program for college access and success.
