Applications are now being accepted for scholarships administered by the North Georgia Community Foundation. The Foundation, based in Gainesville, serves 15 counties in Northeast Georgia. Students in Banks, Dawson, Fannin, Forsyth, Franklin, Habersham, Hall, Hart, Jackson, Lumpkin, Rabun, Stephens, Towns, Union, and White counties are eligible to apply for scholarships applicable to them.
The deadline for area high school seniors and non-traditional students to apply is March 15, 2018.
Most of the scholarships available are for high school seniors graduating in 2018. Each scholarship fund is established by an individual donor or association and has its own specific purpose and eligibility criteria.
