A Saint Martin student is far more likely to graduate from college and make
$2.4 million during their working career. If they had not received the college preparation they receive from Saint Martin, their earning
potential may have been reduced by half or worse.

Christian Bell, Class of 2008
“Saint Martin gave me the opportunity to not only be a part of a family but to attend a school when I did not have the necessary resources to do so....Growing up in the city of Cleveland, I never thought something like this could be possible. Saint Martin has changed my life forever.”
Christian is graduating from Morehouse College with a double major in Political Science and Religion. Christian has applied to the Harvard Divinity School and hopes to directly enroll in Fall 2012.
