In September and October 

The Middle Georgia State University (MGA) Foundation offers over 150 scholarships funded through private donors. The quantity and variety are dynamic, as new donors learn of opportunities to invest in MGA students. Many foundation scholarships are general while others apply to specific academic areas.

All MGA students are considered for our foundation scholarships. While a formal scholarship application is not required, all students are encouraged to complete a FAFSA each academic year they want to be considered for a scholarship. Students receiving a scholarship will be notified of acceptance in their MGA email.

MGA begins awarding scholarships in May and continues throughout the academic year. A thank you letter, and photo are required to accept a scholarship gift. Please regularly check your SWORDS account for updates on your awards and outstanding requirements.
