Student Presentations

Achievement Beyond Obstacles (ABO Nevada) provides support and scholarships to deserving high school seniors who have triumphed over hardships and demonstrated personal leadership and courage to reach graduation with the goal of attending college or trade school.

Reno South Rotary started the Achievement Beyond Obstacles Program in 1996 (formerly known as Most Improved Student program) to recognize students whose pathway to high school graduation was much more difficult than it was for most of us.

Each year the members of ABO contact counselors at each high school, including charter and private schools, asking that they nominate students for the Achievement Beyond Obstacles Program. Once nominated these students begin their ABO journey.
