The Scholarship Academy is a comprehensive scholarship preparatory program dedicated to teaching low-income, first-generation college students how to create realistic college funding strategies. Through our counselor trainings, financial aid courses, and the Virtual Scholarship Center (VSC), we connect students to a vital four-year college funding pipeline. Our goal is to empower our students to take control of their financial futures. Since our inception, we have trained over 10,000 students and helped them secure more than $65 million in private scholarships, significantly reducing their student loan debt.

In partnership with the Atlanta Woman’s Club, The Scholarship Academy will host its inaugural Jazz Brunch “A Toast to Debt-Free Degrees” fundraising event on September 12, 2024, at the Wimbush House in Midtown Atlanta. The Jazz Brunch will be an eclectic brunch celebration with a Mardi Gras theme. We’ll have amazing brunch cuisine, champagne cocktails, a parade of masks, and, of course, a live and silent auction! The funds raised for the Jazz Brunch will advance our work in achieving debt-free degrees.
