College Access

In collaboration with APS, College Advising Corps, and OneGoal, we support high school seniors to complete milestones that will help them seamlessly enroll in and persist through postsecondary education. The share of the class of 2025 seniors achieving these milestones (completing the FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid; applying to at least three colleges; and completing the Achieve Atlanta Scholarship application) soared over previous classes:

80% college applicants
72% completed FAFSA
58% postsecondary education

College Success

The first two Achieve Atlanta cohorts that enrolled in University System of Georgia (USG) institutions graduated at the same rate as all students at those institutions, regardless of income status.
