Macon GA Chapter of the Links HBCU Scholarship Fund

The Macon GA Chapter of the Links HBCU Scholarship Fund, administered by the Community Foundation of Central Georgia, supports high school seniors from specific Georgia counties who plan to pursue their higher education at a Historically Black College or University. To qualify, applicants must be graduating from a high school located in Baldwin, Bibb, Crawford, Houston, Jones, Monroe, or Twiggs County. Selection is based on multiple factors, including financial need, academic achievement, community service, leadership, and extracurricular involvement. Applicants must also submit a personal statement and a letter of recommendation. While the application process does not explicitly require the FAFSA, demonstrating financial need is a key component of the selection criteria. The program provides a $2,000 award, paid as $500 annually, which is renewable for up to four years provided the recipient maintains eligibility and completes the required follow-up steps with the foundation. The annual application deadline is February 28th.
