Increasing Postsecondary Education Attainment in Appalachia: It's All About GRIT
"GRIT is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. GRIT is having stamina. GRIT is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. GRIT is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint."
Angela Lee Duckworth, 2013, Transcript: The Key to Success? Grit
The Appalachian Higher Education Network...working with schools, families, communities and diverse partners to increase postsecondary education attainment in Appalachia.
