Georgia Mining Foundation Scholarship Program
Scholarship Sponsored by Georgia Mining Foundation
Introduction
Through our scholarship and endowment initiatives, we provide more than $40,000 each year to deserving students from Georgia who are preparing to enroll in the state’s colleges, technical colleges, and universities. The annual GMF Scholarship does more than help with tuition — it also connects recipients with the Georgia Mining Association and its member companies, offering both financial support and industry links that enhance their educational experience. We are committed to continuing this tradition of investing in Georgia’s future leaders.
