The South Georgia Technical College Foundation provides a number of scholarship opportunities and grants to students attending South Georgia Technical College. The majority of the scholarships available are for existing students who have attended SGTC for at least one semester.
Most scholarships are based on the previous semester’s President’s List. Full-time students named to the President’s List for having achieved a 4.0 (or all A’s) the previous semester are notified through the mail that they have been selected to apply for a Foundation Scholarship.
Criteria such as home campus, academic program, number of times on the President’s List, scores on admissions tests, and participation in extracurricular activities as well as financial aid are used to determine scholarship eligibility utilizing a points system devised for scholarships from individuals on the President’s List who submit scholarship applications.
Many of the scholarships are program specific and not all scholarships are available every semester.
To receive consideration for need-based grants/scholarships, students should complete an application in the SGTC Foundation Office in the Odom Center, room 106, on the Americus campus. Applications can also be submitted to the Foundation Office online by contacting Leah Cannady, Foundation Assistant at 229-931-2248 or lcannady@southgatech.edu.
South Georgia Technical College encourages students to apply for the HOPE Grant, the HOPE Scholarship, Hope Career grants as well as Pell Grants. Students can fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) available online or contact the SGTC Financial Aid office at 229-931-2755.
