Theatre and dance alumna shines light on opportunities for Atlanta public school students

Bria Price �14, a theatre and dance graduate from ������˾��, remembers the time when she was accepted to ������˾��. �I was actually at a dance concert that I was the costume designer for, and I got my email, and I literally did a twirl in the lobby of the theatre, like �yes!� I loved ������˾�� so much,� shared Price, who focused on modern dance at the College. A significant deciding factor for her college decision was sorting out the financial aspect, which the financial aid team made simple.��

�When it came to the decision of ������˾��, they said, ‘I�m also going to talk with you about the finances. And when talking with you about those finances, you can still make that choice to ask if ������˾�� is what you want,’� said Price. �It was a decision that I was able to make but also I knew ������˾�� was investing in my education through a scholarship that I love called the Allen scholarship.���

While on campus, Price was part of numerous organizations, including the Dance Company, Sorority Life with Delta Theta Psi, and the Black Student Association (BSA). She also helped found ������˾���s Shades of Gold a cappella group, as well as participated in the cheerleading team.��

�I wanted to be part of those different activities because when I went to ������˾��, I knew what I was going to study, but I didn�t know who I wanted to be,� Price expressed. �I started exploring different things that I found I really loved and enjoyed.���

Price currently is the senior manager of college success at Achieve Atlanta, a non-profit organization that works with students attending public high schools to help them afford and access higher education.��
