The Achievement Trust organization provides membership, grants & scholarships to African-American students.

This program was founded in 1981 with the vision and the dream that through an ever increasing number of accomplished and motivated young men, the Black family unit can be maintained and strengthened. The goal is accomplished through the workshops and mentoring. More than one thousand young men have gone through the program and more than 2.8 million dollars in scholarships have been awarded. ​
