   Gerontology Student Scholarship Program

The Georgia Gerontology Society provides scholarship opportunities to outstanding graduate and undergraduate students who are committed to pursuing a career in the field of aging.

Two scholarships are awarded each year. The Robert P. Wray Scholarship of $2,000 is awarded to one undergraduate student, and the Virginia M. Smyth Scholarship of $3,000 is awarded to one graduate student to promote students’ interest in age-related issues and to promote professional development in gerontology. Scholarship Award winners are recognized at the GGS annual conference. The 58th annual conference in 2013 will be held in Augusta, GA at the Marriott Riverfront (August 12-14, 2013). The two winning students will be recognized at the awards brunch. In addition to the scholarships, conference fees will be waived for the winners. In addition, they each will receive hotel and mileage reimbursement and a one-year membership in GGS, an additional $500-$600 value.

Donations to the Scholarship Program are greatly appreciated.  To learn more about the Scholarship Program, contact Shean Atkins, Scholarship Chair at 404/817-7347.
