Georgia Gwinnett College Program to Benefit First-Generation Students

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA (August 1, 2023) – A new scholarship at Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) will help first-generation college students reduce the cost of their education. Generally, first generation students are defined as those whose parents did not complete a four-year college or university degree.
Made possible by a $250,000 pledge to the Georgia Gwinnett College Foundation from Peach State Federal Credit Union (Peach State), the initiative, called The Peach State Federal Credit Union First-generation Scholars Program, will provide scholarships funded by an endowment. The endowment will allow this scholarship to live in perpetuity.
