Georgia Cotton Women is a non profit organization sponsored by the Georgia Cotton Commission.
Our purpose is to educate the general public about cotton and to promote cotton through various activities.
Through the benevolence of a producer/ginner, each year we award a scholarship to the son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter of a Georgia Cotton producer with priority given to children of Georgia Cotton Women members.
