The Georgia Tech Faculty Women’s Club (GTFWC) will award five scholarships of up to $1,500 each for the 2016-17 academic year. Applicants must be Georgia Tech undergraduates and have a parent or guardian as a permanent Tech employee. Applicants also must have completed at least one full semester at Tech; have an overall GPA of at least 2.75; and write an essay describing his or her academic plans, involvement in extracurricular activities, and reasons for needing financial assistance.
Over the past 24 years, the GTFWC has awarded 148 scholarships totaling $118,550 to support undergraduates.
“I am so happy, as the scholarship chair, to be part of continuing this great opportunity,” said Christina Choi, assistant professor, School of Industrial Design. “It is satisfying to see the real effects it can have, not just to meet the students’ immediate needs, but also to increase the level of confidence in their work.”
The deadline to apply is January 21, 2016, and the scholarship committee will make its selections in February.
