Since 1990, the GTFWC has awarded 143 scholarships totaling $111,050 to support undergraduates.

“We are very proud that the Club has been able to raise the money to establish this scholarship fund,” said GTFWC Scholarship Chair Marylou Foley. “Georgia Tech is really one big family, so by awarding scholarships to children of the people who are dedicated to making Tech the great place it is, we really are helping our ‘family.’”

The deadline to apply is January 20, 2015, and the scholarship committee will make its selections in February.
