Georgia Engineering Foundation Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Georgia Engineering Foundation
The Georgia Engineering Foundation has been running a scholarship program for over half a century, aimed at supporting deserving Georgia students who aspire to pursue careers in engineering or engineering technology. Since its inception in 1985, the program has granted scholarships to more than 1200 students, with individual awards ranging from $1,000 to $5,000.
The scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis, taking into account the student's academic performance, interest in engineering as a career, financial need, and involvement in school and community activities. It should be noted that the number and amount of scholarships awarded each academic year may vary based on the preferences of our donors. Typically, between 50 and 60 scholarships are granted annually, with a total value ranging from $90,000 to $120,000.
