The Georgia Promise Scholarship: Opening Doors for Savannah Students

Savannah Educational Consultants (SEC) is proud to partner with the Georgia Promise Scholarship, a program designed to expand educational opportunities for students in under‑resourced schools. Under this initiative, students attending 38 of Savannah‑Chatham County’s 58 public schools may access tutoring and speech‑language therapy with their scholarship funds. This partnership allows us to share our expertise with families who may not otherwise afford individualized support.

Why This Matters

Literacy rates in Savannah remain alarmingly low. Data from the Spring 2024 Georgia Milestones assessment show that over half of sixth‑grade students and 50 % of fourth‑graders are not reading at grade level[1]. Limited reading skills undermine success in all subjects and contribute to long‑term socio‑economic disparities[2]. By connecting qualifying families to evidence‑based tutoring and speech therapy, the Georgia Promise Scholarship helps close these gaps.

What Services Are Covered

Through our partnership with the scholarship program, SEC offers:

  • Science‑of‑Reading‑based tutoring for students struggling with phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
  • Subject‑specific tutoring in math, science, history and ELA for middle and high school students.
  • Dyslexia tutoring using Orton–Gillingham and Lindamood Bell methods.
  • Speech‑language therapy targeting articulation, phonological processing and language comprehension.
  • ADHD tutoring/therapy and study skills support for older students.

Services are available online or in person at our Savannah office. We guide families through the scholarship application process, helping determine eligibility and plan a personalized program.

A Commitment to Community

SEC has a long history of serving high‑achieving students at private schools. Partnering with the Georgia Promise Scholarship allows us to give back by supporting students in Title I schools and closing literacy gaps that affect the entire community. Our nationally recognized tutors and therapists are ready to help students build confidence, master foundational skills and prepare for future success.
