Does anyone know of any good scholarships for incoming college freshmen in Georgia? I'm planning my applications and would like to add some scholarship opportunities to the list.
Absolutely. Here are a few scholarships that specifically target students in Georgia:
1. HOPE Scholarship: One of the largest scholarship programs available to Georgia residents. It's funded by the Georgia Lottery for Education and provides money toward tuition at eligible Georgia colleges, universities, or technical colleges. You need to have a minimum 3.0 GPA at the high school level to be eligible.
2. Zell Miller Scholarship: This is essentially a full-tuition award for Georgia students, managed under the same umbrella as the HOPE Scholarship. To qualify for this, you need a minimum of a 3.7 GPA and a 1200 SAT score or a 26 ACT score.
3. Georgia Rotary Clubs' Laws of Life Essay Contest: This is an annual contest open to high school students residing in Georgia. Students are required to write an essay on a given theme to compete for cash scholarships.
4. 10,000 Degrees Undergraduate Scholarships: Open to high school seniors or undergraduate students from any state, though some scholarships are restricted to only Georgia students. Recipients are chosen based on financial need.
5. Comcast Leaders and Achievers Scholarship Program: This program is open to high school seniors residing in communities where Comcast services are available. Students can be awarded for their community service, leadership skills, and academic performance.
Remember, applying for scholarships can be time consuming but can also be greatly rewarding. All the best in your search!
