10 Years of Impact $236,000+ Awarded Investing in Future Leaders Since 2017
About the GA4LE Scholarships
The GA4LE Next Generation Scholarship Program reflects our commitment to investing in the future leaders who will shape Georgia’s learning environments. Since 2017, the program has awarded more than $236,000 in scholarships to students pursuing careers in architecture, engineering, construction, educational planning, and related fields.
As we celebrate a decade of impact, GA4LE is expanding its investment in the next generation. Applications for the 2026 Higher Education Scholarship Program, supporting undergraduate and graduate students, will open soon. This fall, GA4LE will also debut the new CTAE Scholarship, designed to support students pursuing career, technical, and skilled trade pathways that contribute to the planning, construction, operation, and maintenance of educational facilities.
Through these initiatives, GA4LE continues to strengthen the pipeline of talented professionals who will design, build, and support the schools and learning environments of tomorrow.
