The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation has announced a 10-year scholarship investment for Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Morris Brown College and Spelman College. The $50 million investment is primarily designed to support juniors and seniors who need additional funding to graduate. 

Plus, researchers at Georgia State University, on behalf of Georgia Appleseed, have published a new report titled “Unlocking Georgia’s Potential: The Long-Term Economic and Social Benefits of Keeping Students in School.” Michael Waller, executive director of Georgia Appleseed, talks about the report which explores what makes high school students more likely to dropout and the economic effects on both the student and taxpayers.

Lastly, we hear from Katherine Day Bremer, the author of the book “Headhunter Confidential: The Unwritten Rules for Landing A Job You Love.” Day Bremer talked about the current job market, Atlanta hiring trends, and she offered advice as an experienced headhunter for large companies.
