We Help Georgians Go Higher
The Higher Foundation promotes post-secondary education by providing financial assistance to Georgia college students. We help Collegiate Georgians secure their basic needs with our need-based grants and merit-based scholarships. Since May 2018, we have served over 1,000 Georgia college students and awarded nearly $40,000 in grants & scholarships. With our services, we aim to help Georgia college students overcome basic needs insecurity, so they can go higher in their education and career.
Higher Education, Higher Possibilities
At The Higher Foundation, we believe with higher education comes higher possibilities, and every Georgian should be able to attain both no matter his or her socioeconomic status. If you attend a Georgia post-secondary institution and you need financial assistance to secure your basic needs, please request need-based aid through The Higher Foundation Grant or merit-based aid through The Higher Foundation Scholarship. We are here to help you overcome basic needs insecurity, so you can go higher in your education and career.
The 2025 Give Higher Campaign
When our Higher Supporters give higher, then our Higher Students can go higher. Donations from our Higher Supporters help us provide financial assistance to Collegiate Georgians for their basic needs including food, housing, transportation, and so much more. To further our mission, we need our Higher Supporters to join The Give Higher Campaign by giving at one of our three specified Give Higher Tiers. Donations can be made once or monthly. Thank you to The Higher Community for supporting our campaign!

The grant money really helped me as I started to obtain more financial responsibilities by moving off campus, putting my health first, and becoming more independent. Financial support really can lift a weight off people’s shoulders as they deal with other situations, and I am forever grateful for the support I got from Higher Foundation. I also had the honor of meeting Mallorye when she dropped off Back to College Kits to Serve-Learn-Sustain where I work on campus. Again, I love seeing the dedication and love people have for reaching back and helping others!
Higher Student, Georgia Institute of TechnologyThank you to the entire committee of Higher Foundation and their contributions to my academics as a scholar and my future profession. Higher Foundation granted me with the funds to purchase my textbooks for this academic semester.
Higher Student, Clark Atlanta University
The Higher Foundation has provided nothing but endless opportunities for me, and I am incredibly grateful that they continue to extend their kindness to me. By receiving a finals week gift box, it helped me to relieve some stress in an overwhelming part of the semester. I am incredibly grateful for the grant provided to me to help me go higher in my education as finding the money to cover transportation to my college, as a commuter student, can be incredibly difficult. Thank you all again!
