The Georgia Southern University
Foundation Inc. was created to raise private
funding to meet certain educational and
institutional needs at Georgia Southern University not
addressed by state allocations.
The Foundation's primary mission is to
"promote the cause of higher education" by
assisting Georgia Southern University in fulfilling
its multifaceted mission:
- to support cultural opportunities, economic
growth, environmental quality, scientific and
technological progress and social and personal
well-being...
- to graduate knowledgeable, clear-thinking,
articulate students...
- to expand horizons through outreach in sciences
and liberal arts, preservation of distinctive
cultural legacies and attention to the integrity
of south Georgia's environment...
The greatest need is scholarships. Therefore, the
Foundation provides scholarship support for the 1906 Scholars Program, University Honors Program and other
general scholarships from the Greater University Fund.
Over 150 endowed funds support one or more
scholarships. Selection criteria for these
scholarships vary according to donor preferences and
may include such factors as academic major, home town,
special interest and scholastic performance. |
