Project

Birmingham recently launched the Birmingham Promise program, which has a goal of enabling every graduate of local public schools to advance to post-secondary institutions. The city is working to provide tuition assistance as well as apprenticeship opportunities with local employers. FUSE will build the operational and financial systems needed to quickly scale the availability of tuition resources and ensure the sustainability of the organization.
