The Higher Foundation Scholarship

We Help Georgians Go Higher
The Higher Foundation Scholarship promotes post-secondary education by providing merit-based financial aid to Georgia college students. We award one-time $1,000 scholarships directly to Georgia college students to help secure their basic needs. We select Higher Scholars based on their academic success, leadership skills, service, and professional development. Please apply by July 15th for the Fall Semester or by any December 15th for the Spring Semester. Students will receive application updates by the 30th of the month. Please do not contact us for an application update. If you have any other questions or concerns, you may find answers in our Application Checklist or Frequently Asked Questions. If you do not find your answer there, please email us at students@higherfoundation.org.
