Our donors are all ages and come from all walks of life—just like our students.
Master of Taxation Alumna Establishes Scholarship for Single Parents
Tracy Hoffman had so much fun as an undergraduate in the '80s that her grades suffered, and she eventually was asked not to come back. By the time she had a son, she realized she needed to build a better life and return to school.
At first, Georgia State denied her application based on less-than-stellar transcripts, but she convinced the admissions committee to give her a chance. She has established the Emily Arlene McGehee Memorial Scholarship for single parents in similar circumstances. One recipient will receive a $1,000 award each year.
“I’m not looking for straight-A students. Straight-A students get enough help, and the rest of us get left behind when it comes to financial aid. The recipients I have in mind are looking to do better for themselves and their families. The scholarship is a hand up—not a handout—to ease their burden a little bit.”
Business Magnate Establishes Robinson’s Largest Undergraduate Scholarship
Guy Millner is entrenched in the insurance industry, possesses a fondness for Georgia State, and has a generous heart: the perfect recipe for the undergraduate scholarship he recently established. Available to students studying risk management and insurance or actuarial science at Georgia State’s Robinson College of Business, the Guy Millner Scholars program consists of four $20,000 installments over four years, totaling $80,000 for each recipient. Four students are selected each year. The program also includes a mentoring component and opportunities for paid summer internships at AssuranceAmerica.
In addition to an academic major within Robinson’s Department of Risk Management & Insurance, criteria include a GPA of 2.7 or higher, demonstrated financial need, and a well-rounded approach to life. The first cohort of Millner scholars encapsulates the concept of well-roundedness through their personal pursuits: Dobra-Wilson Amgabaduba is a Nigerian chef; Emily Archer, a cross-stitcher and violist; Jessica Macha, a multicultural activist; and Matthew Snyder, a drummer.
“I’m impressed that Georgia State’s tuition is so reasonable. The scholarship covers tuition, books, and a few additional needs that may arise throughout the year,” Millner said. “And the Department of Risk Management & Insurance is constantly striving to be better and better. I’m honored to continue, after all these years, as a partner with the school.”
