Scholarships are a vital resource for college-bound students looking to supplement their education fund. Few students can afford to pay tor college without some form of financial aid, and scholarship programs make it possible for many aspiring students to achieve their educational goals.
Field of Study Scholarships provides corporations or professional associations the opportunity to encourage students pursuing a particular academic area of study and introduce recipients to your company.
To address the critical need for student scholarships in Georgia, Field of Study Scholarships provide support for:

Donors seeking to establish a Field of Study Scholarship may create an endowed scholarship to support students in perpetuity or an annual scholarship to provide immediate assistance to students.
Creating an endowed scholarship provides critical tuition support for USG students in perpetuity.
Donors may establish a named scholarship endowment up front (minimum $25,000 investment) or with a pledge commitment to grow the scholarship fund to $25,000 over a five-year period. Whenever the fund reaches the $25,000 level, proceeds will be permanently invested in the USG Investment Pool, with scholarship awards provided from earnings each fiscal year in accordance with USG Foundation Investment Pool spending guidelines.
Creating an annual scholarship provides critical and immediate tuition support for USG students.
Donors may establish a named annual scholarship with a gift of $5,000 or more. With an initial gift of $2,000 and a pledge commitment of $5,000 in total, a donor creates a named, annual scholarship. Annual scholarships will be awarded for as many years as the funds are donated. The name associated with the scholarship will remain with the fund until such time as the fund is depleted or discontinued.
