REACH Georgia Scholars Announced

Six Fayette County middle school students have a head start on their college education after winning a $10,000 REACH Georgia Scholarship.

REACH Georgia is a statewide needs-based mentorship and scholarship program. It provides academically promising students who have a demonstrated financial need with the academic, social, and financial support to help make their dreams of college and a bright future a reality.

Selected scholars are paired with a community mentor and an academic coach who works with them through high school graduation. When REACH Georgia scholars graduate with at least a 2.5 HOPE GPA and maintain good behavior and attendance, they receive a $10,000 scholarship which can be used at any Hope-eligible college, university, or technical school in Georgia.
