Scholarships

Georgia’s Own Credit Union

ALBANY, Ga. — Georgia’s Own Credit Union, recognized as the second-largest credit union in Georgia, announced the 2020 recipients of its annual college scholarship program. After receiving applications from students at over 16 local high schools, 23 high-achieving seniors from the Albany area were chosen to receive $1,000 toward their college education.

Students were selected for the scholarships by a panel that took into consideration: academic record, financial need, school/community service and an essay. Including the $23,000 committed to this year’s recipients, Georgia’s Own has awarded nearly $140,000 in scholarship grants to Albany students over the last 16 years.

Among the 12 recipients was Gavin Baker of Colquitt County High School.
