Community Foundation For Greater Atlanta Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Community Foundation For Greater Atlanta
Here’s the important information you need to know about Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta scholarships — neatly organized so you can plan and act like a responsible applicant.
Quick overview
- The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta awards hundreds of scholarships each year through many individual funds. You apply once with a universal application and that single application will be used to consider you for multiple scholarships for which you qualify.
Key dates and deadlines (2025–2026 / 2026–2027 cycle)
- Ballard Family Foundation: application opens October 27, 2025; closes November 14, 2025.
- Jim Kennedy Scholarship: application opens December 1, 2025; closes January 20, 2026.
- Most 2026–2027 scholarships: application opens December 8, 2025; closes March 2, 2026.
- Notification deadline for all 2026–2027 applicants: decisions communicated by July 6, 2026.
Who is eligible
- To be considered for any of these scholarships, you must plan to enroll full time in a postsecondary program for the 2026–2027 academic year. If that describes your plans, complete the universal application to see which scholarship funds will consider you.
Special note on the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta General Scholarship
- The “General Scholarship” is not a single award but an umbrella for 12 distinct scholarship opportunities. Completing the universal application will allow you to be reviewed for these and other funds.
Practical steps (what I’d advise my students)
1. Put the relevant application open and close dates on your calendar and set reminders a week and two days before deadlines.
2. Gather items ahead of time: transcript, test scores (if required), list of activities, and at least one recommender contact.
3. Draft and revise your personal statement before the application opens so you can submit early.
4. Complete the universal application — it’s how you’ll be considered for multiple scholarships at once.
If you want, I can help you make a checklist for one of these deadlines or review a draft of your personal statement.
