Georgia United Foundation Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Georgia United Foundation
For three decades, we have been honored to provide yearly scholarships to support students in Georgia and their families with the cost of higher education. We are now excited to announce several new opportunities available not only to high school seniors, but also to undergraduate upperclassmen and educators.
SCHOLARSHIPS FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
Our program, named in honor of the credit union's founder and distinguished board members, gives high school seniors the chance to highlight their academic accomplishments and creativity through a video contest. This year, we will distribute a total of $17,500 to 12 deserving students. Each scholarship will be divided equally between two recipients.
- Vernon E. Carne Scholarship worth $5,000
