Scholarships
Georgia’s Own offers a number of scholarships to young adult members who are working to improve what matters in their world!
Presidential Scholarship
The Presidential Scholarship awards a $5,000 scholarship each year to one first-year college student who plans to major in business. This award is a gift from our President & CEO, David A. Preter, and is designed to help shape the next generation of credit union leaders. Applications will be available again in Spring 2026.
John B. White, Jr. Memorial Scholarship
To honor the legacy of the Credit Union’s long-time board member and friend, Mr. John White, the Georgia’s Own Foundation has established an endowment in his name at Georgia State University, which will reward selected students in the Robinson College of Business each year for their academic achievement and their commitment to community.
