Special Population Services

At Athens Technical College, we recognize the difficulties that students often face in trying to balance school, work, and family. Our Special Populations Program is available to assist students in need of help, who are in one or more of the following categories: economically disadvantaged (identified by Pell eligibility), non-traditional (students enrolled in a program where their gender is underrepresented), single parent, displaced homemaker, and/or individual with limited English proficiency.

Students can learn to set achievable goals, find community resources to resolve personal issues that may interfere with school, and develop life skills that will carry them well into the future. Services include seminars on money management, health issues, and life skills; career guidance and exploration; lending library; and referrals to community agencies for assistance with non-academic issues.

For assistance through the Office of Special Populations, please contact the coordinator at 706-355-5006.
