Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools hosted our annual REACH Georgia Signing Day Ceremony on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at the Savannah Arts Academy Auditorium.  Six SCCPSS Middle School students will begin the program this year.

REACH Georgia is a needs-based mentorship and scholarship program that begins in 8th grade.  REACH Scholars are paired with a mentor and an academic coach through middle and high school.  Scholars must maintain good grades (2.5 GPA), behavior and attendance through middle school and high school.  Scholars who successfully complete the program and graduate from high school are awarded a $10,000 scholarship ($2,500/year) that can be used at any HOPE-eligible institution in Georgia. The scholarship is in addition to any other grant or scholarship the student receives.

Congratulations to these 2026-2027 REACH Scholars!
