Watson-Brown Foundation provides need and merit-based scholarships to select Georgia and South Carolina students attending accredited four-year colleges and universities in the United States. Eligible students must be from one of 23 qualifying counties. A student's permanent address must be within the designated county region at the time of high school graduation. More than 900 current and rising college students receive money from the Watson-Brown Foundation every year.
Current high school seniors and current undergraduate students may apply for the scholarship. Students must plan to attend a 4 year, regionally accredited, non-profit college. The Foundation recognizes colleges and universities accredited by one of the six regional accreditation agencies, such as SACS. Scholarship funds will be mailed to a recipient’s college or university of choice twice yearly: once in the Fall semester (July) and once in the Spring semester (January). To renew the scholarship, applicants must either apply by the Fall deadline (June 1st) or the Spring deadline (December 31st).
