The Gerontology Institute makes a difference in the lives of older adults and the aging community through research, education and community engagements. Your support allows us to build on our strengths and develop new capacity to involve students and faculty in the field of gerontology.

Your support will help in our strategic areas:

Programming: Consider making an unrestricted gift so we can build our intellectual community through events and speakers throughout the year.

Student scholarships: Gerontology students are passionate about making a difference in the lives of older adults.  Unfortunately, financial challenges sometimes preclude the ability of some of our students to complete their studies or take full advantage of the opportunities available to them. Donating to existing scholarship funds strengthens the impact of these awards.

The Carol Rowe Jones and Waymon Jones Scholarship, established by Carol Rowe Jones, an alumna of the Gerontology Institute, and her husband, Waymon Jones, is awarded annually to an outstanding gerontology student.

When you land on the Georgia State Giving page, you must search the fund name in the Designations field.  Under the "Designations" section, click on the "Select More+" button and in the search field, type the desired fund name: "Fund name - 00000."
