Emory University

You may be eligible to receive the Zell Miller Scholarship if you fall into one of two categories: You graduated from an eligible high school, earned a grade point average of 3.7 or higher, and received a minimum score of 1200 on the SAT or 26 on the ACT. (NOTE – GPA calculations for this scholarship are based on letter grades only; pluses and minuses such as A- or B+ are ignored.) You graduated from an eligible high school as the class valedictorian or salutatorian. Zell Miller Scholarship award amounts are determined annually by state appropriations. For the 2023-2024 academic year, full-time recipients were awarded $2,985; half-time recipients were awarded $1,493. There are two ways to apply for the Zell Miller Scholarship. To be considered for this scholarship in addition to other sources of federal and state aid, all you need to do is complete the FAFSA. If you wish to be considered for the Zell Miller Scholarship only, complete the Georgia State Finance Commission Application (GSFAPP) and submit the Georgia HOPE Scholarship/GTEG Supplemental Residency form (PDF) to Emory's Office of Financial Aid.
