The Watson-Brown Foundation Scholarships are awarded to students from communities in and near the Savannah River valley where Brown was raised and spent the majority of his adult life. The primary mission of the Watson-Brown Foundation is providing scholarships to select Georgia and South Carolina students attending accredited four-year colleges and universities in the United States. Eligible students must be from one of the eligible 23 counties in Georgia and South Carolina. A student's permanent address must be within the designated county region at the time of high school graduation. Current high school seniors or current undergraduate students may apply for the scholarship. Students must plan to attend a 4 year, regionally accredited, non-profit college. The Foundation recognizes colleges and universities accredited by one of the six regional accreditation agencies, such as SACS. Scholarship funds may only be used to cover approved cost of attendance expenses for a recipient's first four eligible years of undergraduate study. The number of eligible funding semesters awarded to new recipients is determined based on the applicant's total years of post-secondary education completed as of the initial semester of award eligibility. Applicants must submit one letter of recommendation from a teacher/professor, religious leader, coach, employer, or others who have important roles in their life.
