There are currently 37 counties in the state of Georgia designated as Appalachian Region counties.
While all counties in the area and state can benefit from the Center´s efforts, sixteen have been
targeted because their youth have rates of extremely low postsecondary education, high drop-out, and
very low college completion:
‡ Lumpkin is the host county for the Georgia Appalachian Center for Higher Edcuation.
GACHE receives its funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission and NGCSU.
