Our personalized College Preparation program supports our college-bound students through preparation, guidance and motivation, beginning in 9th grade. The goal of College Dreamers is to promote the success of our students through the attainment of a higher degree
In College Dreamers, our students gain: • a college-focused culture • individual guidance through the college application process • help with admissions and scholarship applications • exposure to college campuses, programs, alums and students • college and career-readiness skills through special workshops • leadership development and continued support once they have graduated
We also have a College Needs Fund that assists our students with the cost of their higher education. The Fund focuses on unmet need - the difference between what students can pay through their own means, financial aid and scholarships they earn and the total cost of their education. We also try to reduce high loan amounts for our students so they are not disadvantaged with debt once they graduate. This Fund has been critical to our students since their families cannot offer much financial assistance. To date, we have awarded over $45,000 to our students over three years.
Note: The Atlanta Foundation provides funding for our College Dreamers Program.
