Major Activities

Activity 2

K-12 Component Quality (College Readiness)- The mission of the College Readiness Division is to provide programs and opportunities for students enrolled in Project GRAD Atlanta middle and high schools (grades 8-12) within the Atlanta Public Schools by engaging students and parents in activities that foster positive attitudes, academic achievement, college preparation, access to financial resources; therefore promoting high school graduation, college enrollment, and college graduation. The specific goals of college readiness are: 90% of entering freshman graduating in four years; 60% of graduating class earning the Dr. George W. Brumley, Jr.-Project GRAD Scholarship; and 80% of Brumley-GRAD Scholars enrolled in college within the first year. The Project GRAD Atlanta College Readiness Division provide Project GRAD middle and high schools with college readiness programs, workshops, college tours, SAT or ACT preparatory classes, tutoring and academic support, college admissions workshops, financial aid and scholarship assistance for students and parents, Summer Institutes for commuter and residential sites, summer enrichment program referrals, and provides additional financial support for school initiatives to include professional development for staff. In addition, the College Readiness curriculum develops and promotes student-centered activities which help Project GRAD students with the college application and preparation processes and foster high school graduation, academic achievement, career development, parental involvement and college attendance. An essential part of College Readiness is promoting the Brumley-GRAD Scholarship for students who maintain an overall 78 or above numeric grade average, complete requisite college preparatory courses, attend two (2) summer institutes, and graduate from a Project GRAD feeder high school on time (within four (4) years). Successful students who meet these criteria earn up to four (4) years of scholarship support to attend an accredited 2- or 4- year college or state-approved technical school of their choice anywhere in the United States. As of June 30, 2013, 258 Project GRAD Scholars from the Class of 2013 qualified for the $4,000.00 Brumley-GRAD Scholarship.

Activity 3
