Gwinnett County Foundation Scholarships
DEADLINE: December 31,2023
-
All colleges & universities will have scholarship portals, websites or databases for students to review. However, in the last few years, a shift has taken place as it relates to their scholarship portals (sites or databases). Students must first apply, be ACCEPTED and then they are given access by way of an assigned student log-on ID which will give them access to the scholarship portals.
Early applicants need to take advantage of this scholarship portal immediately, as scholarships are typically internal to the college.
Beware: Some colleges & universities may have Scholarship Priority Deadlines
-
Scholarships can be found everywhere. AVOID SCAMS! You should never pay for help to find money for college.
College & Universities
Colleges and universities represent the largest source of scholarships for students attending college. Scholarships amounts vary! Check the financial aid and scholarship resources posted on the college you would like to attend.

Merit Based Scholarships & More
Most academic (merit-based) scholarships for first-year students are awarded during the admissions process.
***Once you narrow down your college or university choices, complete the application process and receive "acceptance," start reviewing the college or university's scholarship website. ex: UGA Scholarships; Emory Scholarships; LSU Scholarships and Howard U Scholarships
Scholarship nominations are often processed to identify students with particular college and university interests. Nominations are based on the student college list.
Example: Davidson College - John M. Belk Scholarship
