NGCF CELEBRATES RECORD-BREAKING SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS
306 scholarship awards totaled $743,649

[Gainesville, Georgia] – The North Georgia Community Foundation (NGCF), is proud to announce the largest disbursement of scholarships in its history. A total of 306 scholarships amounting to $743,649 were awarded to deserving students across North Georgia who entered college or technical school this Fall.

NGCF’s team recently celebrated this milestone, alongside generous fundholders and committed volunteer scholarship reviewers. “We are immensely grateful for all of their passion and dedication that have been instrumental in reaching this remarkable milestone,” said Michelle Prater, President & CEO of NGCF. “This commitment to the community and belief in the power of education is what fuels our mission and enables us to support an increasing number of students each year.”

Connie and Sammy Tucker, who established the Jody Tucker Memorial Scholarship in 2000 in loving memory of their son, expressed their deep appreciation for NGCF’s stewardship: “Over the years, we’ve witnessed the Foundation’s incredible dedication to administering scholarships. We are so impressed by their commitment and are proud to support students as they pursue their educational dreams. It’s more than a scholarship; it’s a way to honor Jody’s legacy and invest in the potential of our youth.”

Each of NGCF’s scholarship funds reflect a unique meaning and support the individual stories and dreams of the recipients. NGCF takes pride in administering and guiding the scholarship process to ensure that each award finds its way to a worthy recipient. The next NCGF scholarship cycle will open on January 15, 2025. There is still time this year to establish a new scholarship fund and present the inaugural award in 2025; for more information, visit www.ngcf.org/scholarships.
