High School Scholarship Application
2024-25 Academic Year
United Way of Southeast Georgia is pleased to announce the establishment of high school scholarship program, designed to support deserving students who face financial barriers in achieving their educational goals. This scholarship reflects our commitment to fostering educational equity and empowering students who demonstrate academic promise, leadership potential, and a passion for making a difference in their communities.
As part of our organization’s mission, we believe that access to education should not be limited by financial means. The United Way of Southeast Georgia Scholarship is intended to assist students who demonstrate financial need and align with our core values of dedication, resilience, and service to others.
Scholarships will be awarded to students at each of the three high schools (Portal High, Southeast Bulloch High, and Statesboro High): one for a technical/vocational college ($500) and another for a college or university ($1,000). This initiative aims to support our students' diverse educational aspirations and career paths.
To be eligible for the UWSEGA Scholarship, a student must:
- Be a graduating senior planning to attend a four-year accredited academic program or a vocational school
- Demonstrate and provide proof of financial need (see application for income range)
- Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
- Have a record of good attendance and behavior
- Maintain grade reports reflecting at least a 2.5 (college or university) or 2.0 (technical/vocational) in core courses
