Georgia Presidential Scholarship

The Honors College at Georgia State is home to GSU’s two most prestigious scholarships: The Stamps Scholarship and the Presidential Scholarship. Each of these scholarships cover tuition, fees, housing and living stipends. They also provide increased support for other opportunities, such as studying abroad, potential to be connected with a paid assistantship (UAP) and enhanced access to research opportunities throughout GSU.
