<div><p>Ellen Degeneres is a generous person, that is just fact. But every once and a while she takes it up to the next level and does something so amazing that it gets everyone talking. </p><p>Ellen found out about the Summit Academy which works extra hard to get all their students to college. In the neighborhood where the school is located, only 4% of adults have attended college and more than 28% of kids under 16 are living in poverty. </p><p>To help them get to the life they want, the school focuses on sending the kids to college, but the cost is a big problem for many of the students. </p><p>That's where Ellen comes in. She found out about this and decided to send all 41 students in the senior class to college with a full scholarship to any school of their choosing in New York. They each have four-year scholarship that Ellen says is the biggest thing her show has ever done.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/ellen.png" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/ellen_GH_content_550px.png 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/ellen_GH_content_650px.png 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/ellen_GH_content_750px.png 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/ellen_GH_content_850px.png 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/ellen_GH_content_950px.png 950w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/ellen_GH_content_1050px.png 1050w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/ellen_GH_content_1150px.png 1150w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/ellen_GH_content_1250px.png 1250w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/ellen_GH_content_1350px.png 1350w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/ellen_GH_content_1450px.png 1450w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/ellen_GH_content_1550px.png 1550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/ellen_GH_content_1630px.png 1630w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>The students are so excited, "I really think I could do something with my life.
