Georgia State Scholarship applications are awarded based on the following criteria: GPA of 3.25 minimum, financial need, community involvement, extracurricular activities, special circumstances, awards and achievements, writing skills as demonstrated through an essay (subject to be announced by the State Scholarship Committee). Each Georgia P.E.O. Chapter can sponsor up to seven young women for this scholarship. These women are required to be Georgia residents, but do not have to attend college in Georgia. The P.E.O. STAR Scholarship is a project of P.E.O. International, so candidates are competing with students from the US and Canada. In 2022, only sixteen students out of the 900 total STAR scholarships awarded were from Georgia. The criteria for STAR are similar to those for Georgia State Scholarship except the GPA is 3.0 minimum and there is no financial need component. I have attached a brochure for the STAR Scholarship. Interested candidates need to send the attached information form via email (vhinesley@bellsouth.net) to me by no later than Thursday, August 31, 2023. Please remind these young women that this is a competitive program in which we are not only looking for someone who meets the minimum GPA or has a financial need but that they also need to demonstrate that they are well rounded in their school activities, community involvement, etc. on their information form. Chapter BK's Scholarship Committee will meet to review their information and will select our top candidates to interview in September.
An application can be picked up outside of Dr. Morton's office.
