ABOUT REACH
REACH Georgia is the State of Georgia’s first needs-based mentorship and college scholarship program, launched in 2012 as a critical component of the state’s Complete College Georgia Initiative.
REACH (Realizing Educational Achievement Can Happen) Georgia’s mission is to ensure that Georgia’s low-income, academically promising students have the academic, social, and financial support needed to graduate from high school, access college, and achieve postsecondary success.
Currently, in all 180 school systems throughout the state, REACH serves more than 4,000 students throughout Georgia.
REACH Georgia is administered by the Georgia Student Finance Authority (GSFA), a companion student finance entity of the Georgia Student Finance Commission (GSFC). GSFC is the state agency that administers the HOPE Scholarship and Grant Program as well as other state- and lottery-funded financial aid programs. GSFC also manages the career and college preparation website, GAfutures.org, and provides educational services such as free financial aid consultation and FAFSA completion assistance to high schools and postsecondary institutions across the state.
