Achieving the Dream, Inc. and OneMain Financial are providing scholarships to students who are near completion at five community colleges in the Achieving the Dream National Reform Network.

Community colleges are increasingly seeking strategies to improve completion rates, particularly for low-income students and students of color. Through this scholarship program, Achieving the Dream and OneMain Financial are working together to help students who are near completion to overcome financial barriers.

The following colleges were selected for the OneMain Financial Completion Scholarship. Each of these institutions will receive funds to administer four $3,000 scholarships:

• Atlanta Technical College Foundation - Atlanta, GA
• Central Piedmont Community College - Charlotte, NC
• Community College of Philadelphia - Philadelphia, PA
