The North Georgia Community Foundation has continued its support in the community by distributing $426,500 scholarship awards to students pursuing their post-secondary education this fall. The funds are the total of 217 awards from Scholarship Funds administered by NGCF and follow on from last year’s distribution of $385,000.
NGCF currently oversees 65 scholarship funds, with each one tailored to specific eligibility criteria such as the student’s field of study, academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and financial need. These scholarships are available annually to high school seniors, current college students, and non-traditional students.
“This is the largest disbursement we have made and we are so proud to work with amazing people who want to support students in furthering their education,” says Megan Martin, VP of Marketing & Development at NGCF.
