Exciting Updates:
We are excited to share Achieve Atlanta’s 2024 Impact Report! Our collective achievements thus far are worth celebrating, and they inspire us to progress forward toward our vision of Atlanta being a city where race and income no longer predict postsecondary success and upward mobility.
We are proud to announce the release of Stability & Security: How Achieve Atlanta Improves Scholars’ Financial Well-Being and Academic Performance, a second independent analysis of Achieve Atlanta’s Scholarship and services. A new report by Georgia State University’s Georgia Policy Labs examines important student outcomes that impact student persistence and completion.
Believe. Expect. Achieve.
Atlanta’s students have dreams: for their futures, their families, and their careers. We’re here to support those students. See how we’re doing this.
College Access
Achieve Atlanta and our College Access partners deliver hands-on help to APS students as they chart their paths to college. We have a formal relationship with Atlanta Public Schools and provide strategic, operational, and financial support to offer a district-wide college advising program that serves all APS juniors and seniors.
College Success
As a part of fulfilling our mission, Achieve Atlanta partners with postsecondary institutions and college success experts to offer direct support, coaching and advising, and broker additional services to students.
The case for college is clear. People who complete higher education are more satisfied with their careers, wealthier, and better prepared to achieve their dreams.
Parents and caregivers are one of the most important ingredients in a student’s success. We provide resources to help you propel your student toward their dreams.
Because students can face a number of barriers completing postsecondary education, we are mobilizing a community of organizations to support students in a holistic way.
