Step Ahead Scholars

Step Ahead Scholars is a nonprofit, that works in public high schools to eradicate college inequality. Our programing ensures that underserved students have access to the information and resources needed to pursue their post-secondary education at their best fit college. Our unique delivery system is based on collaborative partnerships, volunteerism and mentoring. SAS works with community stakeholders, such as Emory University and The Carter Center, by tapping into their existing volunteer networks. Stakeholder's volunteers become SAS mentors. These mentors work directly with SAS participants Through assemblies, informational sessions, one-on-one mentorship, and outreach events, we positively impact core college going indicators (FAFSA, SAT, ACT and Best Fit college research know how), thereby increasing the numbers of underserved students that successfully navigate the college admissions and transition process.
