College Summit

J.B. Schramm, 41, saw as a senior at an inner-city Denver high school that many of his friends weren't going on to college -- not for lack of ability, but because no one at home was encouraging them. Ten years ago, he began his mission: Working out of the basement of a housing project in Washington, DC, he gave four underprivileged high-school kids counseling on how to get into college. Since then, the program has sent 4,000 young adults to college.
