Scholarship Winners
Headed For Georgia National Guard
Thirty-nine students bound for North
Georgia College & State University were honored at the Georgia
Capitol on March 24 for receiving the Georgia Military Scholarship. The
scholarship is awarded annually to students who commit to serve in the
Georgia Army National Guard while in college and serve four years as a
National Guard officer after receiving a degree. It pays the full cost
of education for four years.
Gov. Sonny Perdue individually
congratulated the future university students, who will enter NGCSU in
August. State legislators were also on hand to meet with the students
they nominated for the scholarship.
The recipients and their families
attended a luncheon in their honor where Brig. Gen. William Nesbitt,
commander of the Georgia Army National Guard spoke, along with NGCSU
President Nathaniel Hansford.
The all-inclusive state scholarship covers all college costs - room,
board, tuition, and fees - and is the only such scholarship in Georgia.
Army benefits the scholarship recipients receive include the Montgomery
G.I. Bill, National Guard duty pay and officer contract pay.
For more information on the Georgia Military Scholarship, contact NGCSU
at 706/867-2804.
The following students are recipients of the 2004 Georgia Military
Scholarship. Each recipient is listed with the Georgia General Assembly
member who nominated him or her for the scholarship:
