Georgia United Foundation is pleased to name six Georgia high school seniors as recipients of its 2023 Scholarship Competition. A total of $25,000 in scholarships were awarded to these deserving students who plan to attend college or a technical school during the 2023-2024 school year. This marks the 29th year of the scholarship program, named for Georgia United Credit Union’s founder and notable board members.
During the tenure of the Georgia United scholarship program, a total of $363,000 has been distributed among 247 scholars.
The foundation’s scholarship program encourages higher education-bound students to display their creativity through a one-minute video submission explaining how they will use their continuing education to help their community. Additional consideration is given to academic achievement, financial need, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities.
“We are thrilled to recognize these outstanding students for their hard work and achievements,” said Georgia United President and CEO Debbie Smith. “Georgia United Foundation makes it possible for us to continue our long-standing tradition of offering scholarships to high school seniors who are pursuing higher education. We wish this year’s scholars the best of luck and know they will make a difference in their communities.”
