What the Gift Center Leadership Academy Offers:
Christ Centered Discipleship
Through the Gift Center Leadership Academy, our global leaders will engage in relevant Bible Studies, where we study young leaders of Scripture, who were gifted by God, and made a big impact in their world! In today’s 21st Century, we need rising leaders who both love God and will reflect the character of Jesus Christ!
Scholarship & financial aid assistance
For many students, a college degree opens the door to the skill set and knowledge necessary to impact their God assigned sphere of influence. However, the student loan ratio for minority students is exponentially high. Through the Gift Center Leadership Academically, scholars will learn of scholarships, grants, and wise financial planning that will alleviate and/or eliminate excessive student loan debt after earning a college degree.

kingdom connections with community leaders & internships
At the Gift Center Leadership Academy, we believe in discovering, sharpening, operating, and stewarding our gifts. Therefore, Gift Center will have community leaders from the community come to share their stories, their career journey, and connect our scholars to internship and mentorship opportunities in their unique fields of interest.
community for gifted minority students
Representation matters. Support is important. Allow the Gift Center Leadership Academy to become another layer of the village it takes to raise the next generation of young global leaders for Christ! Gift Center Scholars will find spiritual, academic, and social support as culturally diverse gifted learners! Allow the Gift Center to become another family to you and your student in their journey through high school!
College & Career Readiness consulting
On January 28, 2020, The Georgia Senate passed a bill that allows students to only take 30 college credit hours for free through the dual enrollment program that is paid for by state funding. Prior to the law changing, students could take up to 15 credit hours a semester. Additionally, all high school graduates of Class 2017 or later are required to take at least 4 HOPE Rigor classes in addition to a 3.0 GPA in order to be eligible recipients of the HOPE Scholarship.
Knowledge is power! Allow me to help your student position themselves academically for all the amazing opportunities God has in store!
