In October 2015, the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) embarked on an unprecedented partnership with three Baltimore City public middle schools: Franklin Square Elementary and Middle School, Green Street Academy, and Southwest Baltimore Charter School. After applying for and receiving grant funding from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), UMB launched the pilot year of the UMB CURE Scholars Program.

What Are the Partnership Schools?

1. Franklin Square Elementary and Middle School
