As part of the application process, every scholar must have a report card on file from the current academic year. It is preferred to have an uploaded file of the official report card. However, if you are unable to save a file, we also accept screenshots of the student-parent portal, progress reports, or clear cell phone images of the report.
Odyssey's goal is to retain each scholar until they graduate from high school. Odyssey scholars are offered a robust college-readiness platform and support throughout their high school career.

I have been a part of Odyssey Atlanta since its inception. There's nothing I rather do than be a part of the life-changing opportunities that Odyssey affords every child. Our scholars are amazing young people. It is a joy to see those who have fulfilled the mission to go to college, and graduate, making their own contributions to their communities and the world!
