The Southeast Georgia Health System Emiko Diaz Scholarship Fund is created to provide scholarships for students at the College of Coastal Georgia. These scholarships will be awarded in recognition of high achievement and leadership skills. Up to three one thousand dollar scholarships will be awarded annually for five years to outstanding juniors or seniors majoring in Health Informatics and attending the College of Coastal Georgia to complete their degree.
