Diploma Plus scholars (Lamly Soto and Damarcus Cooper) give their testimony as to how the Diploma Plus scholarship affected their lives. 
She started out her talk by saying “I decided to drop out of school before my counselor told me that the Rotary club had a program that might help me stay in school.”  She has brought her grades and attendance up and now plans to finish and graduate this year. 
 
He was on the verge of getting kicked out for bad attendance and poor grades.  Since receiving his scholarship he has maintained a 95% attendance rate and now has a C+ average.
