A Menlo Elementary student was named the Reach Scholar for the school last week.  REACH Georgia was launched on February 6, 2012 at Georgia Institute of Technology with the announcement of AT&T being REACH’s first corporate partner with a donation of $250,000.  Today, with many more corporate sponsors, the program serves students in all 159 counties in Georgia.

REACH Georgia is the state’s needs-based scholarship that provides a mentor and academic coach  for a middle school student to finish out their high school career and provides a $10,000 scholarship when the student graduates high school.
