§ The Ledger

Proven outcomes.

An evidence-based practice demands evidence. This is the living record — the students, the scholars, and the aggregate results behind every claim the Academy makes.

§ 06The Outcomes

The McNair Scholars — evidence in the aggregate

In 2017, Mikael Davis secured a U.S. Department of Education grant to reconstitute the Hampton University Ronald E.

The scholars below are the living record of that work — 87 documented admissions, with 77% of alumni accepted into graduate or postbaccalaureate research programs and 98% persisting to graduation or continued enrollment.
