John and Betty Pope Caregivers Scholarship support students engaged in informal caregiving roles, while helping them learn about the importance of caregiving and ultimately reach their higher education goals, and encouraging recipients to explore career opportunities within the care economy. The scholarship is open to full-time Georgia Southwestern State University students who are providing care for a loved one or pursuing a career related to caregiving. Students are awarded funding to cover in-state tuition, with additional funding allotted to on-campus housing and books as needed.
