Academic Mentoring Program
The Peach Bowl’s academic mentoring program provided an ‘academic coach’ to work with student-athletes in 11 inner-city high schools. The academic coaches strived to maximize their students’ personal potential by keeping them in school, helping improve grade point averages, providing SAT and ACT test preparation resources, encouraging the students to apply and transition to college. Peach Bowl, Inc. was the only entity in the nation to fully fund a program like this for an entire school district.
The Academic Mentoring Program's students recorded an 81.4 grade point average in 2023, with a 100% graduation rate.
Over the years the total donation since 2007 has been $2.5 million. Over the last 15 years, more than 9,000 student-athletes have been supported as a part of the program.
