Exciting Updates:
We are proud to share our latest case study, Pathways to Partnership: How Cross-sector Collaboration Can Increase Impact, developed in collaboration with the Center for Public Research and Leadership (CPRL) at Columbia University. The case study details our model’s unique cross-sector collaboration component—working with college access, affordability, and success partners to achieve outcomes that no single organization could accomplish alone.
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.
