The Vince Dooley Scholarship Fund was established in 1988 to honor Coach Vince Dooley's career at the University of Georgia. Every year, a scholarship is awarded to an incoming freshman from Duval, Nassau, St. Johns, Clay or Baker counties based on academic and economic need. This scholarship is designed to help offset out-of-state tuition which helps Florida students attend the University of Georgia. The scholarship is renewable, provided the student maintains accepted academic criteria.
The Georgia Bulldog Club of Jacksonville has awarded over $300,000 to 31 students from North Florida and South Georgia since 1989. Although the Georgia Bulldog Club of Jacksonville is primarily social in nature, our commitment to assist area students in obtaining a quality education from the University of Georgia may be our most significant achievement. With the establishment of the Jacksonville Bulldog Alumni Scholarships, Inc., a 501(c)3 charitable organization, we are working to endow this scholarship through fund raising events like the GA/FL Silent Auction so it will continue to be given for many years to come.
