INSTITUTIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS: ENTERING FRESHMAN SCHOLARSHIPS

Students who are admitted by February 1 are automatically considered for most academic scholarships. Those students who apply by November 1 are given preference. The selection process is highly competitive. Generally, students should graduate from high school with a 3.0 GPA based on a 4.0 scale, and have a combined score of 1200 or better on the critical reading and math sections of the SAT or a 26 composite score on the ACT.

Students must be enrolled full-time during both fall and spring semesters in order to receive their scholarships. Listed below are the Georgia College awards. Be aware that hometown churches, clubs, professional organizations, and civic groups sometimes offer scholarships. Students who are awarded a scholarship from a source other than Georgia College should contact the Scholarship Coordinator in the Financial Aid Office for further information. For more information on any scholarship questions, contact the Financial Aid Office at (478) 445-5149 or log on to /financialaid/scholarships/index.htm

Continuing students will be considered for scholarships administered by GCSU by completing the GCSU Scholarship Application located on the MyCATS Web site. Students should access their MyCATS account at http://mycats.gcsu.edu and select "GCSU Scholarship Application" from the Financial Aid menu. The application will be available from mid-December 2010 until February 6, 2011.
