Admission Possible is transformed by the generous support of the William W. and Nadine M. McGuire Family Foundation

Dr. William McGuire and his family announced gifts to Admission Possible, the University of Minnesota and LearningWorks at The Blake School to help hundreds more low-income students prepare for college, apply to college and afford college.

The McGuire gift to Admission Possible will help us reach at least 300 new students in each of the next three years. This extraordinary gift will set Admission Possible on the path of reaching at least 1,300 students by 2008-09. Our heart-felt thanks go the McGuire family for their generosity and vision.

We hope others are inspired by their call for investment in the future of Minnesota's children.
