The women of Sigma Alpha have chosen to offer a scholarship to one female high school senior entering into the University of Georgia in the Fall of 2009. The amount of the scholarship is $500 and will be paid during the Spring 2010 semester after the student is officially accepted and enrolled full-time at the University of Georgia. Selection will be based on the student’s scholastic achievement, leadership ability, interest in agriculture, and extracurricular involvement as evidenced by high school or related activities.

The application is for the University of Georgia Sigma Alpha Scholarship ONLY. We encourage students to submit applications for other scholarships as well.
