O.C.G.A. § 20-3-440: Legislative findings.

The General Assembly finds that it is essential for the national defense that persons be encouraged to consider military leadership positions as an honorable and rewarding profession and that the University of North Georgia, Georgia’s only state supported military college, plays a significant role in preparing and training students for professional life in the military as a profession. It is the purpose of the General Assembly, as provided for in this subpart, to encourage students to enroll in the University of North Georgia and its military training program and to encourage such students to accept military commissions by providing for tuition grant assistance to such students.
