State Representative Mike Cameron commends Governor Brian Kemp’s recent announcement to launch GEORGIA MATCH, a college admissions initiative aimed at giving graduating high school seniors the opportunity to be directly connected with higher education opportunities.
“I would like to thank Governor Kemp for making this historic announcement that will change the lives of so many young Georgians, including students in our district who may not know what post-secondary opportunities exist,” said Rep.
Cameron. “This initiative will not only open countless doors for our students and their futures, but it will also provide Georgia’s economy with the continued support needed to maintain a thriving workforce. I am proud to back this monumental breakthrough for education in Georgia and commend Governor Kemp and his team for their hard work and dedication put towards enhancing the education spectrum.”
GEORGIA MATCH is an education and workforce initiative developed by the Governor’s Office, Governor’s Office of Planning & Budget, Georgia Student Finance Commission, Technical College System of Georgia, Governor’s Office of Student Achievement, Georgia Department of Education and the University System of Georgia with the mission to give all Georgia students the opportunity to learn and succeed through postsecondary education.
Starting next week, more than 120,000 high school seniors across the state will receive a letter from Governor Kemp listing the technical institutions, colleges and universities that will be holding a spot for them in the fall 2024 semester. The number of schools listed will be based on the student’s academic standing, 11th grade HOPE GPA and freshman index score. The letters will also include information on how to claim a spot at a college or university on that student’s individualized list. All GEORGIA MATCH participating institutions will waive application fees for students during November 2023 for students who apply through GEORGIA MATCH.
Beginning next week, students may visit gafutures.org/GEORGIAMATCH to view their personalized MATCH list and request additional information if needed.
