REACH SCHOLARS

We are happy to announce our REACH Scholars for Colquitt County School System.

REACH (Realizing Educational Achievement Can Happen) is a program that began under Former Governor Nathan Deal as a key initiative of Complete College Georgia. School systems partner with REACH identifying academically promising eighth-grade students to receive REACH Scholarships.

Scholars are paired with a mentor and an academic coach through high school and must maintain good grades (2.5 GPA), behavior, and attendance. Upon graduation from high school, scholars are awarded up to a $10,000 scholarship to be used at a Georgia HOPE-eligible two- or four-year college.

REACH Georgia is the State of Georgia's first needs-based mentorship and college scholarship program. The mission is to ensure that Georgia's academically promising students have the academic, social, and financial support needed to graduate from high school, access college, and achieve postsecondary success. The scholarship is in addition to any other grant or scholarship.

This first cohort group of REACH Scholars from Colquitt County School System began the program during the 2017-2018 school year.
