The annual scholarship cycle held by the North Georgia Community Foundation is now open through the beginning of March.
The foundation announced the opening of the cycle in a release Friday. The foundation will administer 67 scholarship funds ranging from $500 to $15,000 to students in the Northeast Georgia area. The scholarships are for high school seniors, current college students and non-traditional students.
In addition, the foundation announced it will be offering two new funds. The Mary Joan Keeney Scholarship will offer $1,900 in funds each to two non-traditional female students looking for careers in nursing and mental health care. The Rushton Educational Scholarship will offer a one-time award of $2,750 to a full-time rising junior or senior college student pursuing an accounting degree.
Students looking to apply can do so on the foundation's website or call at 770-535-7880.
“By providing these scholarship opportunities, our fundholders are making an investment in the students as well as in the future of our community,” NGCF Vice President of Marketing & Development Megan Martin said.
The foundation awarded over $400,000 in scholarship funds in 2021.
