Project ABC (A Better Chance) began at Dartmouth College in 1964, as a summer program to prepare academically-gifted, underprivileged and minority students to attend independent college preparatory schools. In 1966, Duke University partnered with Project ABC, and conducted intensive, eight-week summer sessions for boys with the goal of easing the transition from public school to private school.
