Thanks to a new partnership, help is on the way for some Middle Georgia State University (MGA) students who can’t quite cover their tuition and cost of academic supplies.
MGA, the Middle Georgia Community Action Agency, and the Heart of Georgia Community Action Council have joined forces to provide crucial financial assistance to students in need.
Students who live in the service areas of the two agencies and meet certain income guidelines can receive up to $1,000 each to assist with tuition, fees, and necessary academic supplies, including laptops and textbooks.
"At Middle Georgia Community Action Agency, we are committed to empowering individuals and families by addressing immediate financial challenges and promoting long-term self-sufficiency," said Jennifer Floyd, community service director at Middle Georgia Community Action Agency. "This partnership with MGA allows us to remove financial barriers that might otherwise prevent students from reaching their full academic potential."
