Nationwide, students who have experienced foster care, homelessness, or are at risk of homelessness have a college completion rate of less than 5%. At UGA, that rate is an impressive 71%, thanks to the Embark@UGA program.

Graduation season is an exciting time, filled with pictures, regalia, special dinners, and gatherings with family and friends. However, our Embark@UGA students don’t always have that luxury. We want to honor the 21 graduating Embark@UGA students with a special event. We will ensure each student has their regalia, professional photos, a festive dinner, and a frame for their diploma.

You can help make this celebration possible. Please consider donating to support this event and show these students just how proud the UGA community is of their incredible achievement.
