The Higher Foundation Scholarship

We Help Georgia College Students Go Higher
The Higher Foundation Scholarship promotes post-secondary education by providing merit-based financial aid to Georgia college students. Higher Scholars will receive a one-time $1,000 scholarship for the selected semester to help cover their cost-of-living expenses. 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 Frequently Asked Questions. If you do not find your answer there, please email us at students@higherfoundation.org.
