Transforming Lives Through Scholarships

In honor of the investiture of Dr. Johnny L. Evans Jr., the seventh president of the College of Coastal Georgia, we invite you to help transform students’ lives through scholarships. Expanding access to education and supporting student success is central to Dr. Evans’ vision for the College.

As part of this investiture, our goal is to fully endow five scholarships, ensuring they will provide meaningful support to Coastal Georgia students for generations to come. Endowed scholarships create a permanent source of funding, helping students pursue their education while strengthening the future workforce and community of the Georgia coast.

Supporters may choose to contribute toward one scholarship or help support all five, joining others who are investing in the future of our students and the region we serve.

For many students, scholarship support determines whether they enroll, persist, and graduate. Your support helps remove financial barriers, supporting first-generation college students, strengthen our regional workforce, and expand opportunities across Coastal Georgia.
