East Georgia State College, along with the family of the late Jack and Ruth Ann Hill, has established a scholarship fund to honor the couple who passed away earlier this year. The Jack and Ruth Ann Hill Scholarship will award recipients up to $1,000 beginning in Fall of 2021. The scholarship will be available to students from Bulloch, Candler, Effingham, Emanuel, Evans, and Tattnall counties—the same counties Hill represented in the Senate.
"As always, Senator and Mrs. Hill and the Hill family put the people of this great region first in establishing this generous scholarship fund. It will pay dividends as the students who receive this scholarship graduate from East Georgia State College and go on to become leaders in our community. East Georgia State College extends its deepest gratitude to the Hill family for this wonderful gift,” said Dr. Bob Boehmer, President of EGSC.
To apply for the scholarship, EGSC students must complete the application; be in good standing and enrolled in a degree program; have a GPA of 3.0 or higher; enrolled in 15 hours or more of coursework; and demonstrate strong community service.
