Gail M. King Women's Golf Scholarship

The Gail M. King Women’s Golf Scholarship was established to support the Women’s golf program to attract and retain top student-athletes to attend the College of Coastal Georgia. A native of Atlanta, Gail M. King graduated from The Lovett School and attended Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Virginia, before transferring to Emory University where she received a B.A. in psychology. She earned her M.Ed. in special education from Emory University and set up resource rooms for special needs children in the Atlantic Public School System during the early 1970s. She also represented portrait artists from all over the nation through Portraits South and represented several landscape artists, especially from Aix?en-Provence, France. She was married to Kim King, the legendary quarterback for Georgia Tech under head coach Bobby Dodd and the beloved radio color analyst of Georgia Tech football games for 30 years until he died in 2004. Mrs. King is the owner of one of Atlanta’s foremost commercial real estate development firms and a diversified investment company, Kim King Associates, Inc., which was founded by her husband. The company developed properties all over the city, including the Centergy complex adjacent to Georgia Tech facilities at Technology Square. Now a resident of the Golden Isles, Mrs. King is the mother of three grown children and five grandchildren living in Atlanta. She is a former member of the Board of Trustees at Mary Baldwin College and the alumnae board of The Lovett School, a sustaining member of the Junior League of the Golden Isles, and a member of the Colonial Dames. Her local community volunteer work included therapy dog visits to Hospice of the Golden Isles. The King family have been supporters and benefactors of Georgia Tech athletics and fund-raising activities for cancer research and the Bobby Dodd Charities Foundation as well as the Kim King Foundation in Atlanta, which funds education programs for youth in the West End of Atlanta where Kim King grew up.
