Propel: GSW’s Campaign for Scholarships plans to add to current scholarship funding and fulfill current unmet needs by raising $1 million in scholarship funding. These efforts are intended to increase the affordability of attending Georgia Southwestern providing incoming students more scholarship opportunities for a quality education without years of debt.
The Propel campaign will conclude at a scholarship gala at the end of January 2024. Between now and then, potential donors, GSW alumni and friends alike, will have a variety of opportunities to contribute either online or by check. Make a year-end gift* to benefit student scholarships, and help students propel their future!

Georgia Southwestern’s Hurricane Back-on-Track Scholarship Fund provides students with the financial support they need to overcome an unanticipated financial hardship that inhibits their ability to finish a degree. Monies from this fund will provide relief for Hurricanes at pivotal moments and enable them to focus on and advance their studies.
Hurricanes face uncommon, unexpected and often acute difficulties as they pursue their degrees. More than a third of all Hurricanes are Pell-eligible and over 40% are first generation college students. This fund will assist those who have stumbled in their academic pursuit and need temporary assistance and will be administered by the Office of Financial Aid.
Words can’t describe how thankful I am to have received a college scholarship. It gave me hope and the assurance that I will be a successful black male.
