Forming a partnership with GFIC means making a commitment to provide leadership and financial assistance to Georgia's private colleges and universities. Past partners have served on the Board of Trustees or the Board of Advisors; made contributions in the form of scholarships to students at member campuses throughout the state; or made grants for faculty members who exemplify excellence in the classroom.
