Each year, the Constitutional Officers Association of Georgia accepts applications and essays from high school seniors in Georgia for one of its multiple scholarships. The scholarship committee reviews and rates the essays in anonymity. The COAG Scholarship is open to any Georgia high school senior (or a GED 1equivalency) who is a United States and Georgia citizen graduating by the spring of your application for the scholarship. You must be seeking an undergraduate degree to apply.
The criteria for the award include: Presenting a letter of acceptance or letter of enrollment from a school of accredited higher education located within Georgia (four-year college, junior college or technical college); Providing proof of residency in the State of Georgia (GA Driver’s License or GA ID Card); Submitting a 1,000-word essay; and presenting a COAG scholarship application. The 1,000-word essay MUST be typed or computer generated, double-spaced, Times New Roman 12-point font, on 8 ½ x 11 unlined white paper and in the English language. Handwritten essays or those in any other format will be disqualified.
