Governor's Honors Program (Georgia)

Summer program · Georgia Governor's Office of Education and Workforce Strategy

The Governor's Honors Program gathers gifted and talented rising juniors and seniors from Georgia's public, private, and home schools for about four weeks of college-level classes, seminars, and cultural and social enrichment on a college campus, running roughly mid-June to mid-July. Students move through local nomination, then a semifinalist interview/audition round and a finalist selection round. The state covers tuition, room, and board in full — there is no cost to attend GHP; families are responsible only for travel, a few personal supplies, and spending money.
