Get Schooled is a national program that connects, inspires, and mobilizes people to work harder to increase high school and college graduation rates, improve postsecondary readiness and promote the fundamental importance of education. It provides resources and information, community outreach and creative programming that engages the audiences who are affected by America's ongoing education crisis.
Developed in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the initiative pairs the foundation's deep knowledge of education reform with the incredible audience connections an unmatched creativity of Viacom's brands to bring a new level of awareness an engagement to this critical issue.
The website getschooled.com is the digital resource center that provides practical information about issues like financial aid or selecting the right college to help students and their families define and then achieve goals for their educations, their jobs an their careers. Students can also find messages from notable figures encouraging them to stick to set even higher goals. Throughout the life of the program, the website will continue showcasing the work being one by all the Viacom brands and partners in support of shared goals and, as the initiative develops, the site will grow into a community of its own.
