Bottom Line began as a small operation supporting 25 high school seniors from Boston. In a time when 1 in 7 low-income students who began attending college would finish, Bottom Line's founder Dave Borgal helped all 25 students get accepted to college and 80 percent graduate in six years or less. Since then, Bottom Line has maintained a high level of success.
