STANDOUT SCHOLAR

“I made more friends the first week of Perimeter Academy than ever before. There’s just this connection we all share. Perimeter Academy is not just something that will help you through college; it’ll help you for life. You become a part of a huge family.”

— Shoshana Fowler,
^{Perimeter Academy, State Farm Scholar}

Financial Support

Find and apply for scholarships through the Scholarship Resource Center. Call on our aid offices when you’re in need. If you lose your HOPE Scholarship due to low grades, the Keep HOPE Alive Scholarship can help you get back on track to regain it. If you’re suddenly unable to pay your tuition in full, the Panther Retention Grant program can supplement your account. And if you’re facing an extreme financial hardship, emergency assistance funds can help.

Continuing Education

After you earn your associate degree at Perimeter, you can transition seamlessly to our Atlanta Campus to access the largest selection of bachelor’s degree programs in Georgia. To do so, you’ll need to have completed 30 or more credit hours, including all core curriculum and high school required courses, with at least a 2.0 grade point average at Perimeter College.
