For
Educators
FGD Scholars partners with schools to provide in-person workshops that guide students through the college application process, scholarship opportunities, and career exploration. These workshops are designed to support first-generation, low-income, and immigrant students as they navigate higher education pathways.

In-Person Workshops
-
Currently offered to high schools in Georgia, New York City, Washington, D.C., and Maryland. Other regions may be considered if travel costs are covered.
-
Title I schools may request workshops at a reduced cost, with low-cost speaker fees to help fund additional scholarships.

Workshops are interactive and tailored to your students’ needs, offering practical guidance on college applications, financing education, and identifying prestigious opportunities.
