Do the math -- if you receive $7,500 per student from daily attendance rates, with 300 students and experience a 25% absenteeism rate, coupled with a 5% per month dropout/transfer rate, your school will lose $281,200 in school revenue.

The Smart-Word program will prevent this absenteeism and dropout/transfer rates, thus resulting in your school gaining $43,300 beyond the program's cost.  Most important, however, is the students gain in vocabulary, reading and increased academic interest.

Keep this in mind:  you will also stimulate your tribe's local economy as the students earn and receive 80% of the funds.
