Beginning in middle school, selected students receive guidance from a mentor and academic coach to help them achieve academic success, demonstrate positive behavior, and prepare for college or technical school. Scholars must maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA, demonstrate good behavior, remain drug-free, and maintain regular school attendance throughout the program. Upon successful completion of high school and all program requirements, students may receive up to $10,000 in scholarship funds ($2,500 annually for four years) to attend eligible colleges, universities, or technical institutions throughout Georgia.

We are extremely proud of these outstanding students and look forward to supporting them as they continue their educational journeys. Congratulations to our REACH Scholars! Your future is bright!

Vision, Values, Victory… GO CATS!
