How to Apply for Merit-Based Scholarships

Students are eligible for merit-based scholarships once they complete 16 semester credit hours of coursework at the college. To apply for merit-based scholarships, students must submit an application, resume, and letter to the Financial Aid Office by the annual application deadline, as well as a letter of recommendation from a program chair or instructor. Merit-based scholarship applications are available from the Financial Aid Office on the Athens Campus, the Student Affairs Office on the Elbert County Campus, the Director's Office on the Greene County Campus, and the Student Affairs Office on the Walton County Campus. Detailed instructions on each merit-based scholarship are available on the college website. Graduating high school seniors must submit an application, resume, letter, official high school transcript, as well as a letter of recommendation from a teacher or counselor to receive consideration for a merit-based scholarship. The college's selection committee will evaluate applications.
