Dr. Curtis Jones Leadership Award Scholarship

The Community Foundation of Central Georgia administers the Dr. Curtis Jones Leadership Award Scholarship to support graduating seniors from the Bibb County School District. To be eligible for this program, students must receive a nomination from their high school principal. Candidates need to be well-rounded individuals who participate in athletics and extracurricular activities while demonstrating strong qualities of citizenship, scholarship, and leadership.

The award provides $1,875 per year and is renewable for up to four years of college, provided the recipient maintains the eligibility criteria and completes the required follow-up documentation. While the application process is managed through the foundation's online portal, applicants should also complete the FAFSA to establish their general financial aid profile for college. The annual deadline to submit all application materials for this scholarship is February 28th. Candidates may also be asked to participate in an interview as part of the final selection process.
