Upon successful completion of their first year, EDGE students are awarded a $3,000 scholarship annually, renewable for up to three years for a total of $9,000. EDGE boasts an overall six-year graduation rate of 94 percent and overall retention rate of 97 percent for students participating from 2018 to 2024.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
