How to find Georgia college scholarships for single fathers?

I'm a high school junior, thinking about college in Georgia, and I'm curious about scholarships specifically for single fathers. Does anyone have suggestions on where to look or any particular programs I should be aware of?

It's commendable that you're looking into all the possible options for funding your college education. There are indeed scholarships out there specifically designed for single parents, including single fathers.

One such scholarship to consider is the Ford Opportunities Program. While this is not specifically for single dads, the program is designed for first-generation students or single parents. It offers a renewable scholarship to cover the costs left over after federal and state scholarships are applied.

Also, each college or university typically offers scholarships for various demographic groups. These may be merit-based or need-based. Once you decide on which school you're interested in, reach out to their financial aid office or look on their website for more information.

Another resource is Appily, which allows students to search for scholarships based on certain demographics and characteristics, which could include being a single father. Lastly, other national funds such as the Custody X Change Single Parent Scholarship, which awards scholarships to single parents from all over the U.S., may also be of interest.

I want you to remember to also apply for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), as this will determine your eligibility for federal aid, including the Pell grant. The Pell grant is provided by the government to students based on their financial need and doesn’t have to be repaid.

I hope this information helps. Good luck in your search!
