The inaugural cohort of Achieve Atlanta Scholars graduated from the University of Georgia this spring, highlighting the success of the partnership between UGA and nonprofit organization Achieve Atlanta.
The partnership, coordinated by UGA’s Office for Student Success and Achievement, aims to support students from Atlanta Public Schools in accessing, affording and completing postsecondary education. There are currently 50 Achieve Atlanta scholars enrolled at UGA, and they benefit from academic coaching, peer mentoring and retention programs designed to foster a supportive community and promote academic achievement.
