Project 101 offers programs to enhance the

chances of disadvantaged students
Project 101 was enacted by
the General Assembly of the
Commonwealth of Pennslyvania
on Aug. 31^1971 to "provide
funds to institutions of higher
education in the Commonwealth
for the purpose of offering pro-
grams to enhance the chances of
disadvantaged students to achieve
their educational goals.*'
The state developed this pro-
gram because of "financial, home
and community environmental
conditions, students with substan-
tial potential for success in college
and for future leadership in the
community are unable to pursue a
higher education and attain their
full educational capability.'*
To further this goal, the state
