The 9th consecutive year of InspirASIAN scholarships to Georgia Students. The InspirASIAN scholarship program has provided an excellent opportunity to recognize Georgia students who not only excel in the classroom, but also demonstrate awareness of and participation in community diversity related activities.
Because InspirASIAN has both a “National” & “State” chapters - there are two categories of scholarships available, resulting in 38 scholarship opportunities for Georgia students:
(27) - $2,000 “National” chapter awards

A single qualified application suffices. Any applicant who is not awarded a scholarship by the national chapter, will automatically default to his/her local level to compete for a respective state chapter award.
In 2020, twenty two students from the Georgia high school graduating class of 2019 received 4 national ($2,000) and 18 local ($1,000) InspirASIAN scholarship awards.
All applicants will be evaluated on the basis of their:
1) Scholastic and personal achievements
2) Leadership & Community involvement
3) Work Experience
4) Personal Essay
Award recipient notifications will be made in April - with monetary awards and a Certificate of Recognition from our organization provided in May.

The Coolidge Scholarship is an annually awarded, full-ride, presidential scholarship that covers a student’s tuition, room, board, and expenses for four years of undergraduate study.
This one-of-a-kind scholarship may be used at any accredited college or university in the U.S.
Students apply for the Coolidge Scholarship during their junior year of high school. Finalists are flown in for a finalist weekend at the Coolidge Historic Site in Plymouth Notch, Vermont where they interview with the Coolidge Scholars Finalist Jury. Recipients of the Coolidge Scholarship are notified of their award late in their junior year, before college application (note: current high school seniors are not eligible to apply). Finalists who are not named Coolidge Scholars are eligible to receive a smaller, one-time, college scholarship.
Calvin Coolidge worked hard in academics; the young New Englander’s only sport was public speaking, often on public policy. The main criterion that distinguishes Coolidge Scholars therefore is academic excellence. Secondary criteria include: demonstrated interest in public policy; an appreciation for the values Coolidge championed; as well as humility and service.
The summer before their senior year of high school, newly-selected Coolidge Scholars spend several orientation days at the picturesque birthplace of the President, Plymouth Notch, Vt. There scholars get to know Coolidge and his world, and help the Coolidge Foundation oversee its formidable debate programs. Scholars return to Plymouth Notch for a week each summer while in college.
Although only a few students are named Coolidge Scholars each year, one hundred of the top Coolidge Scholarships applicants are named “Coolidge Senators.” Coolidge Senators are invited, all-expenses-paid, to participate in the Senators Summit that takes place each summer in Washington, D.C. At the Summit, the Senators explore the nation’s capital, learn about President Coolidge, and meet other high achieving students from across the country.
The Coolidge Scholars Program is operated by the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation.
October 2020: Application opens for the 2021 Coolidge Scholarship. Only current high school juniors (i.e. students who intend to enroll in college full-time for the first time in fall of 2022) are eligible to apply.
January 20, 2021 at 5:00 PM EST: Application deadline. Applications and letters of recommendation must be received by this deadline in order to be considered. (Please note the time zone)
Spring 2021: All applicants notified of their outcomes. Applicants can check their outcome by logging into their application portal. Applicants who are named finalists will be contacted directly by phone and invited to Finalist Interview Weekend, which takes place in Woodstock, Vermont and historic Plymouth Notch, Vermont. The Coolidge Foundation will cover the travel and lodging costs for finalists and one parent to attend Finalist Weekend.
Summer 2021: Newly selected Coolidge Scholars will spend an orientation week at the Coolidge Foundation in Plymouth Notch, Vermont.

North Georgia Military Scholarships pay for tuition, fees, room, meals, and books for eight semesters. It is for students who enroll in ROTC through the Corps of Cadets at UNG, serve in the Georgia Army National Guard, and who are Georgia residents. (It is not necessary to be in the Guard to apply for the scholarship.) Upon graduating from UNG, recipients become lieutenants in the Georgia Army National Guard and earn about $8,000/year for two weeks of annual training, and one weekend of training per month.
In addition to the scholarship, recipients receive weekend drill pay, annual training pay, Army ROTC stipend (if commissioning), and most receive Montgomery GI Bill benefits. Recipients are not deployable while enrolled at UNG.
About 150 current UNG cadets are receiving scholarship benefits, earning their bachelor’s degrees, participating in a world-class leadership development program, and will serve our State and our Nation as leaders in the Army National Guard.
The Army National Guard's state activities are well-known: it responds to battle fires or helps communities deal with floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, snowstorms, civil unrest, or other emergency situations. If federalized, Guard units answer to the Combatant Commander of the theatre in which they are operating and, ultimately, to the President. Guard soldiers make a difference.
