Project GRAD (Graduation Really Achieves Dreams) is a national school reform initiative first introduced in 1993 in Houston, Texas. Since 2000, Project GRAD has been the Atlanta Public Schools’ signature program to improve student achievement. The High School/College Readiness component is the vehicle that supports the high school’s college-going culture by providing a series of activities and services to build student awareness of and preparation for college success. GRAD High school students participate in summer institutes on college campuses, attend tours of college campuses, assistance with college applications/scholarship, and much more. Students who meet certain criteria become Brumley-GRAD Scholars, receiving college scholarship awards of up to $4,000.
