PFA Scholarships

Georgia Southern University’s Parent & Family Association (GS PFA) will award scholarships to full-time undergraduate students of GS PFA members.

The scholarship applications for the 2024-2025 academic year will open on May 15th. An email will be sent through the Eagle Family Portal to all active Parent & Family Association members with instructions on May 15th.

The Parent & Family Association Council awarded $28,000 to 46 students for the 2023-2024 academic year – funded through your memberships dues! Congratulations to these students!

Two Types of Scholarships Available to Students

• The Georgia Southern University Parent & Family Association Scholarship
• The Georgia Southern University Parent & Family Association Scholarship for Students with Financial Need

Award amounts and number of scholarships awarded is based on Georgia Southern Parent & Family Associaton active membership totals. While every member’s student is not guaranteed a scholarship, the more members we have the more students can be awarded. Applications are reviewed by our PFA Scholarship Committee and selection of recipients is made based on their application responses. A minimum of $250 will be awarded per semester to each student that receives a scholarship.
