As your students continue their college search, many are
probably asking about scholarships. Here are some helpful links and information
about academic scholarship opportunities at Georgia Southern. The priority
deadline to apply for scholarships for the Georgia Southern Statesboro campus
is November 1, 2017, and the final deadline is February 1, 2018.
In addition to applying for Financial Aid by filling out the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or applying for the HOPE
Scholarship, Georgia Southern offers many academic scholarships to help
high-achieving students cover their expenses. We offer three different tiers of
scholarships, each with their own interview event. To be competitive, students
should have the following test scores and a strong GPA.
Southern Scholars Showcase: 1360+ SAT or a 29+ composite ACT
Scholars' Day: 1270+ SAT or 27+ composite ACT
Southern Leaders Conference & Interview Day: 1170+ SAT
or a 24+ composite ACT
All scholarship events are by invitation only, so please
encourage qualified students to complete the MyScholarships application. Please
note, students must apply for admission to submit the application and they must
be accepted to Georgia Southern’s Statesboro campus for scholarship
consideration.
If you think one of your students may be eligible for
scholarships at Georgia Southern, please encourage them to first apply for
admission and submit the MyScholarships application. For consideration to
attend Southern Scholars’ Showcase, students should apply for scholarships and
be accepted to Georgia Southern by November 1, 2017. The final deadline to
apply for scholarships is February 1, 2018. Remember, this process is for
Statesboro students only. The Armstrong campus* will award scholarships
separately for this year.
If you would like a list of students from your school who
may be eligible for academic scholarships, or if you have any questions, please
