## About this scholarship

The DREAMS Scholarship, administered by the Georgia Student Finance Commission, is a need-based financial aid program designed to assist students in overcoming financial barriers to higher education. To qualify, applicants must be Georgia residents attending public colleges, universities, or technical colleges within the University System of Georgia or the Technical College System of Georgia. 

As a need-based program, students must demonstrate financial need and meet specific program requirements to receive funding. This scholarship helps cover educational expenses at eligible state institutions, assisting students with unmet financial needs so they can complete their degrees. To be considered, students typically need to complete the FAFSA or the state's financial aid application to verify their financial need and residency status. Interested students should consult the official program guidelines to understand how the state application process coordinates with federal student aid. See the official page for current dates.
