to apply to America’s top universities. The MIMS Institute serves as a champion of public education and promotes academic excellence in urban zip codes by:
- Distributing the US News List of America’s Top 50 National Universities to minority students
- Maintaining a routine presence from the black community at School Board meetings
- Hosting fellowships for students and parents

Mr. Mims,
We recently met at the mentors meeting about one month ago. I coach the North Tampa Wolves and I would like to offer a few players that may benefit from your services. I have acouple of players and my son. Right now my son is in the 6th grade but if you could guide us in a few things to look out for his future education.
Thanks Coach Maye 813-562-5889
