2025 James Allen Community Scholars Scholarship Award

The James Allen Community Scholars Award (JACSA) is an Atlanta Housing initiative established in 2003 in partnership with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), which serves as the program's fiscal agent. JACSA provides scholarships to eligible Atlanta Housing-assisted residents between the ages of 16 and 30, supporting their pursuit of higher education at colleges, universities, or technical schools of their choice.

This program reflects Atlanta Housing's commitment to fostering lifelong learning, promoting individual self-sufficiency, and building healthy, mixed-income communities by encouraging AH-assisted youth to consider and achieve their higher education goals.
