Supporting Fannin County’s Future—One Scholarship at a Time

Founded in 1991, the Fannin County Scholarship Foundation is a Georgia-based nonprofit created by a group of dedicated community volunteers who believed every student—regardless of background—deserves a chance to pursue higher education. Our mission is simple but powerful: to provide financial support for Fannin County High School seniors as they take the next step toward their futures.

For many students, our scholarships aren’t just financial aid—they’re a launching pad. Some recipients are the first in their families to attend college, and the support they receive plays a life-changing role in their journey.

Scholarships That Make a Difference

Since our founding, the Foundation has helped make college more accessible for students across Fannin County. Thanks to the generosity of local individuals and businesses, we’ve awarded thousands of dollars in scholarships—opening doors to new opportunities and brighter futures.

In addition to awarding scholarships, we proudly recognize academic excellence. Each year, the Top Ten graduates of Fannin County High School are honored with a special gift and have their names permanently displayed on a plaque inside the school.

Our Leadership

The Fannin County Scholarship Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, each of whom brings a deep commitment to serving our local community. Their time and leadership ensure the integrity and continued impact of our mission.

The current members of the Board of Trustees are: William L. Prather, Angela Stewart DeLorme, Jackie Self, Jonathan Lucas Roof, Norman E. Kaye, Richard B. York, Suzanne Davenport, and Glenn Harbison.
