UNG Military Scholarship

Overview

The University of North Georgia (UNG) Military Service Scholarship Program is a merit-based and competitive student financial aid program that provides funding covering the full cost of education for four years at UNG. Recipients must be pursuing a Baccalaureate Degree and incur an obligation to serve as a commissioned officer in the Army National Guard after graduation. The Georgia General Assembly finds that UNG is widely recognized as one of only six senior military colleges in the nation. This program enables outstanding Georgia students to attend UNG and then serve their state and country as officers in the Army National Guard. The UNG Military Service Scholarship Program was created beginning with the 1981-1982 Award Year (State Fiscal Year 1982) and is funded by state revenues, as authorized each year by the Georgia General Assembly. The Georgia Student Finance Authority (GSFA) administers the program, in accordance with the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.) §20-3-420, et seq.
