2018 Georgia Scholars Application for Seniors:
We are always looking for ways to recognize our students and
their accomplishments! This is a program
that can provide your student with recognition at the state level. Through the Georgia Scholar program, the
Department of Education identifies and honors high school seniors who have achieved excellence in school
and community life. The program is coordinated by the Department’s Excellence
Recognition Office and through local coordinators in each public school system
and in private schools throughout the state. Each Georgia Scholar receives a
seal for his or her diploma.
Students eligible for Georgia Scholar recognition are high
school seniors who:
· exhibit
excellence in all phases of school life, in community activities, and in the
home.
· Georgia Scholars are students who have
carried exemplary course loads during the four years
of high school; who
performed excellently in all courses;
· who
successfully participated in interscholastic events at their schools and in
their
communities;
