Eagle Fund
The Eagle Fund Endowed Scholarship provides support for members of the Corps of Cadets who demonstrate leadership potential, qualities of high moral character, and are actively pursuing a commission in the U.S. Armed Forces.
In order for the University of North Georgia's Corps of Cadets to grow and to compete for top recruits, the Eagle Fund's objective is to provide meaningful scholarships to deserving cadets.
Founded in 2011 by six alumni, the Eagle Fund has experienced exceptional growth. Today the Fund has 555 members that represent all alumni classes. Since its inception, the Eagle Fund has awarded $331,000 to 83 notable cadets.
The donors of the Eagle Fund recognize that the Corps of Cadets distinguishes the University of North Georgia from other schools. Despite rigorous competition from other military programs, the University of North Georgia is revered for its success in recruiting top cadets and for its prominence in developing future military leaders. The responsibility lies with all past members of the Corps to ensure that our elite Corps of Cadets is preserved for many generations to come.
