About Achieve Atlanta Emergency Grant
The Achieve Atlanta Emergency Grant is a small, targeted emergency benefit for existing Achieve Atlanta Scholars; it is not open to everyone who lives in Atlanta and is not a tuition scholarship. The current page says the Spring 2026 application is closed. To qualify, a student had to be approved for Achieve Atlanta scholarship funding that semester and face an unexpected expense threatening continued enrollment. Achieve Atlanta does not directly administer applications or payments; it works with Scholarship America.
The limit is up to $500 per academic year, and each documented expense is reviewed without a guarantee of approval. Listed needs include off-campus housing, dependent care, transportation to school or work, moving, medical or dental costs, internet, and utilities at risk of disconnection. Food has an internal $300 cap. Tuition, fees, study travel, technology, and unrestricted spending money are not covered.
When a new window opens, the application requires a current class schedule and bills or receipts showing the amount owed and the student’s name or address; rent may require a lease or receipt. The page says it aims to respond within 72 business hours, and approved funds may be transferred after banking details are received. As of October 2026, there is no open application for Spring 2026; scholars should check their dashboard or contact the administrator for future dates.
