20 Years of Investing in Georgia Students: A Celebration of Public Higher Education

THE BOARD OF REGENTS' SCHOLARSHIP GALA

Investing in Georgia’s future through need-based scholarships

Your support and participation of the Gala is critical to the success of the University System of Georgia Foundation’s efforts to increase need-based scholarships which are made available to more than 340,000 students that attend all 26 public colleges and universities of the University System of Georgia!

While the HOPE Scholarship is a valuable resource, need-based scholarships play a crucial role in Georgia’s educational landscape. They address gaps in coverage, promote opportunity, and foster a thriving future for both individuals and the state as a whole.

Together, we can ignite the potential within every student, unleashing their contributions to our state’s success.

THE NEED IS REAL

• Limited Opportunities: Without scholarships, many talented students face financial barriers by having to secure loans in order to attend school.
• Dreams Deferred: Without scholarships, thousands of promising Georgians are forced to choose between their education and financial security, putting their dreams on hold or abandoning them altogether.

INVESTING IN GEORGIA

Need-based scholarships are strategic investments; they:

• Empower individuals by opening doors to educational opportunities.
• Strengthen our workforce by educating a skilled generation, equipped to contribute to Georgia’s economic growth and innovation.
• Build vibrant communities by educating citizens who build stronger communities.

THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW

Unlock the potential of every student.

• Education changes lives: Ensure that financial obstacles do not direct educational and career paths.
• Fuel our economy: Equip future generations with the skills and knowledge needed to drive Georgia’s economic success.
• Build a brighter future: Create a state where every individual has the opportunity to contribute and thrive.
