Thank You For Your Votes
Many thanks to all who supported us in our effort to get a $250,000 Pepsi Refresh grant. Although we came up short of getting the necessary votes to win the grant, we were a winner in so many other ways: TAP students and TAP's Executive Director were interviewed on Channel 10 News (October 26, 2010) and on 107.9 FM (October 27, 2010); more people are aware of the great accomplishments of TAP; and some excellent networking connections were made which are sure to bear fruit.

To date TAP's Senior Class of 2010 has collectively been accepted into over 20 post-secondary institutions and have received over $300,000 in scholarship money!
