2025 Sarah O. Dunaway Scholarship

The 2025 application for the Sarah O. Dunaway Scholarship is now available! The scholarship will cover an amount equal to the noncredit tuition for the Institute, but not to exceed $500, and one year’s membership in the Friends of Georgia Archives.

The Board of Trustees of the Friends of Georgia Archives & History (FOGAH), an organization that supports and enhances the programs of the state Archives and the Georgia Capitol Museum, is pleased to offer the Sarah O. Dunaway Scholarship to cover tuition for a student attending the annual Georgia Archives Institute. FOGAH developed the scholarship in memory of one of the Georgia Archives’ greatest advocates. Dunaway felt strongly that the state’s heritage should be preserved via its records, and Friends of Georgia Archives honors her by funding the training of those who work with historical records. The Dunaway Scholarship also provides one year of FOGAH membership for the recipient.
