Watson Brown Scholarship Program
Scholarship Sponsored by Watson Brown Foundation
WE'VE GOT YOUR MONEY FOR COLLEGE — let us help fund your future.
Introduction
The Watson-Brown Foundation’s central purpose is to offer need- and merit-based scholarships to qualified students from Georgia and South Carolina who are attending accredited four‑year colleges or universities anywhere in the United States.
About the Scholarship
Walter J. Brown, our founder, believed that a college education was the most reliable path to personal and professional success. In 1970 he created the Watson‑Brown Foundation to put that belief into action. Scholarships are targeted to students from communities in and around the Savannah River Valley, the region where Brown grew up and lived much of his life.

Who Should Apply
Students from selected communities in Georgia and South Carolina (in or near the Savannah River Valley) who will be enrolled at an accredited four‑year U.S. college or university and who demonstrate need or merit are encouraged to apply.
How to Apply — Three Simple Steps
Step 1 — Apply online
Fill out the online application. Each portion of the form includes guidance to help you complete it. The 2026–2027 application cycle is now open.
Step 2 — Confirm supporting documents
Make sure your transcript and your letter of recommendation are uploaded and attached to your application before the deadline. If your documents are missing, contact your school counselor or recommender — the request email may have landed in their Spam or Trash folder.
Step 3 — Submit and confirm
Finish all three application steps and submit your application by the deadline. After submission, you should receive a confirmation email — keep that for your records.

The deadline for the 2026–2027 Watson‑Brown Scholarship application is February 8, 2026.
If you meet the geographic and enrollment criteria, complete the online application and submit all required materials by February 8, 2026 for consideration.
