Many of our participants have achieved significant academic success since joining the Row New York team. Here are just a few of the remarkable things these young women have accomplished:
• 100% of all Row New York participants have gone on to over 15 colleges, including such prestigious institutions as Harvard, Syracuse, Smith, Ithaca College, and Lehigh.
• Past Row New Yorkers have made as much as a 40% jump in grade point average after joining the Row New York team and attending Monday Academics.
• Twelve Row New York graduates are on partial or full academic or rowing scholarships.
Simone D’Abreu, of Queens High School for Teaching, received Row New York’s "Scholar-Athlete Award" in fall 2007, which came with a $500 award towards further academic success (books, tuition, computer, etc). Simone D'Abreu also received NY1's Scholar/Athlete award in spring 2008, for her outstanding accomplishments in the classroom and on the water. Simone will be attending Smith College in fall 2008.
