The REACH Georgia Scholarship Program is a needs-based mentoring and scholarship program supporting promising students to graduate from high school and achieve post-secondary success. In partnership with the Gwinnett County Public Schools Community-Based Mentoring Program, the eight REACH scholars will be paired with a mentor who models positive behavior and provides the student with knowledge, advice, guidance, and support related to education and beyond. Each scholar is also paired with a school counselor who will serve as an academic coach who monitors the student’s progress, helping them develop education and career plans and identifying academic and social supports.
