Georgia Mining Foundation Scholarship 2027 - $500-$4,000
The Georgia Mining Foundation runs three separate scholarship tracks for Georgia students and hands out more than $40,000 a year between them. High school seniors heading to an accredited Georgia college can apply for a $500 award or one of the larger $1,000 awards, students heading to one of Georgia's technical colleges have their own $500 programme, and one senior a year wins the Endowment scholarship worth $1,000 a year across four years. Everything goes in the post on paper. The Foundation does not accept electronic copies, and the packet has to be postmarked by the deadline. The 2026 cycle closed in March 2026, and the 2027 packets are expected on the same page later in the year.
