What is REACH?
The Realizing Educational Achievement Can Happen (REACH) Program was launched in 2012. While the program began small – as a two-year pilot – the program has grown exponentially in the last eight years with 154 Georgia school systems and over 2400 students participating.
The REACH Georgia Scholarship “rewards students for self-accountability, promotes parent involvement and provides motivation and support.
Through academic, social, and financial support, REACH provides the resources to ensure you graduate from high school, access college, achieve postsecondary success and are prepared to join the 21st-century workforce.
Scholarship Amount
Muscogee County School District’s goal is to raise $20,000.00, which will provide 10 students with a $10,000.00 Scholarship.
