College Access

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 we work to increase the number of Atlanta Public Schools students graduating from college, we are partnering with postsecondary institutions and college success experts to offer direct support and advising services to students.

Achieve Atlanta
The Achieve Atlanta Scholarship is a need-based award designed to support APS students pursuing various postsecondary paths after high school. When combined with other possible sources of financial aid, the Achieve Atlanta Scholarship should greatly reduce the need for students and families to take out high-interest, private loans to pay for school. The Achieve Atlanta Scholarship is an important part of Achieve Atlanta’s broader effort to dramatically increase the number of APS students who earn a postsecondary degree or credential.

“Thanks to Achieve Atlanta I was able to receive a scholarship that helped cover my college tuition, a mentor who helped me navigate the college process, and my first internship opportunity. I am looking forward to seeing what the future holds, and I know that their continued assistance will be a valuable asset in helping me achieve my goals!”
