In addition to completing the FAFSA, applicants must apply and be accepted into FVSU to be considered for a CDEP scholarship.

These scholarships cover tuition, fees, room and board, and a supplemental book stipend. For Georgia students only, scholarships are coordinated with the HOPE Scholarship, and tuition is paid by HOPE. Non-Georgia students’ tuition is paid directly by CDEP.

The scholarships cover the cost of matriculation at Fort Valley State University (3 years), then students transfer to a partnering university for 2 or 3 years.
