Eight Fulton County middle school students will sign their commitments to graduate high school and accept a $10,000 college scholarship funded by the REACH Georgia, Fulton County Schools and the Fulton Education Foundation. The event will be held in a style similar to athletic scholarship signing ceremonies.

Launched in 2012, REACH Georgia is a needs-based scholarship that begins in eighth grade. REACH Scholars are paired with a mentor and an academic coach through high school. Scholars must maintain good behavior, good grades (2.5 GPA in core courses), good attendance and graduate from high school. Scholars who successfully complete the program and graduate are awarded a $10,000 scholarship that can be used at any HOPE eligible college in Georgia. Many colleges are matching or double-matching this scholarship. The scholarship is in addition to any other grant or scholarship the student receives.
