Green Bay West High School students celebrate ‘signing day' with scholarships to help pay for college
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Four high schoolers in Green Bay earned an incredible opportunity and celebrated with a signing day ceremony on Tuesday afternoon. The four Green Bay West High School students each earned scholarships through the 'Do Great Things Initiative' (DGTI) which works to help the students become college-ready. Pulaski High School teacher surprised with national Read180 Award The DGTI also helps students learn about possible outlets to earn more financial aid, while also helping them get that funding to bridge the financial gap. It was created in 2021 by Jim and Tracy Ryan, after they learned about the lack of West High School applicants to Marquette University. The DGTI doesn't just help with financial aid, they also help students prepare for entry exams and things like the ACT and SAT, even providing assistance with college essays should students be required.
