Scholarship Programs
Any student wishing to apply for a Georgia Military
College Scholarship to help finance his/her Georgia
Military College education may complete and submit the
scholarship application available from the GMC Office
of Advancement in Milledgeville for any of the
scholarships named for an individual. Submitting a
scholarship application to Georgia Military College does
not guarantee that a student will be awarded a
scholarship, but every effort will be made to help the
student find the necessary money to attend GMC.
GMC offers funding specifically to help pay costs for
cadets attending GMC at the Milledgeville Campus. In
addition to the Advancement Office, the cadet applicant
can also contact the GMC Admissions Department
and/or the GMC Athletic Department for specific
guidelines for some awards under their control.
NOTE
All scholarships awarded by Georgia Military College
are subject to guidelines which require the student to
continue to meet the criteria upon which the award is
based and to maintain the specified grade point average
(GPA) outlined in the award letter. All scholarship
recipients are required to write a thank you letter to the
person (or persons) who provided the resources for the
scholarship.
