Evans County has a short list so far: 7 local scholarships from 1 sponsor. A short local list is still worth a look, because only students from this area can apply. Most run through a community foundation, where one application often covers many funds. We keep searching and add new local scholarships as we find them, so this number grows.
2 of the 7, picked for size and for a deadline you can plan around. The other 5, with every rule, deadline and what each one asks for, are on your student's board.
Each sponsor counted once, by kind. A community foundation often runs dozens of separate funds through one application, so it can be one sponsor with many scholarships.
| Who gives locally | Sponsors | Scholarships |
|---|---|---|
| Community foundations | 1 | 7 |
| All local sponsors | 1 | 7 |
None of these have a posted date yet; many local sponsors publish the next round only a few weeks before it closes. Across the 1,776 local scholarships we track nationwide that do post a date, most fall in February and March. The time to get ready is the fall before.
That is about twice as many as the typical Georgia county, which has 3, and ranks tied for 15th of Georgia's 159 counties. On top of the local list, Georgia students can look at 63 state scholarships and grants limited to the state but not to one county, and the national ones. Across Georgia we have found 248 local scholarships in 148 counties. See every Georgia county.
All 5 counties that border Evans County have local scholarships in our catalog too. Some sponsors cover several counties, and a student who lives in one county and goes to school in another can sometimes apply on both sides.

The full list, with each one's rules and deadlines, is the product. We read each one from the sponsor's own page and recheck it on a schedule, and that work is what the $149 board pays for. The 2 above show the list is real; the board shows which of the 7 your student fits.
No. Most local scholarships add their own rules on top of where you live: one high school, a GPA floor, a planned major, a parent who is a member or a customer. The board asks about those once and shows the ones your student fits, with what each one still asks you to check.
Counted from our catalog on November 2, 2026. We add new local scholarships every week, so the numbers here usually go up.
Counts, amounts and deadline months come from each sponsor's own published rules and can change without notice. Totals add one winner of each scholarship; sponsors that do not publish an amount are not counted in the dollar total. A deadline month is from the most recent cycle we could find. College prices are estimates to plan with, not a quote. Confirm anything you act on with the sponsor or the college.
