Hands On Atlanta is excited to bring digital volunteering opportunities to the ATL through a partnership with Scholarship Academy. It's now easier than ever to help young people prep for their futures by assisting with their scholarship research process.

The Scholarship Academy (TSA), a nonprofit founded by a recipient of over $200,000 in scholarships, teaches low- income and first-generation high school students how to create realistic college funding strategies. Through in-school curriculum modules, financial aid counselor trainings, and access to an innovative scholarship planning platform, The Virtual Scholarship Center, we connect students to local/state-based scholarship resources that enable them to pursue debt-free degrees.

How it Works

1. Students sign up for virtual office hours via their virtual scholarship center account

2. Based on availability and interest, volunteers (you) will help students:

   • Understand their Financial Award Letter

   • Identify additional private aid

   • Re-negotiate their financial aid packages

   • Edit scholarship essays
