Southwestern Promise Scholarship

Georgia Southwestern offers all new, traditional-aged freshmen who meet qualifications below a guaranteed $1,000 or $3,000 scholarship. Beginning freshmen who meet the criteria may renew the scholarship for up to 4 years by maintaining a 3.0 GPA and remaining enrolled full-time. Qualified freshmen are encouraged to consider applying for the President Jimmy Carter Leadership Program as well.

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.
