Say Yes! Cleveland
Support services are the cornerstone of Say Yes Cleveland. Every student and family can use some help at some time, which is why Say Yes Cleveland offers free support services to every student and family in all CMSD and partner charter schools.
A partnership with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, eliminates the burden of paying for college tuition by providing every eligible CMSD graduate with a scholarship to attend a college, university, or accredited training program.
