Recipients of this competitive, merit based scholarship were selected based on their exceptional academic accomplishments, leadership experience, and extra-curricular involvement, as well as other factors. Georgia Military College, the only public liberal arts junior college located in Columbus, is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate degrees.
