Windward Scholars are a group of students who begin their collegiate studies as a dual enrollment student before joining an elite group of students who continue their academic career as a member of the freshman class.
Windward Scholars know first-hand the quality of a Coastal Georgia education and the vibrant community that is the Mariner family. Their experience as a dual enrollment student prepares them to succeed in and out of our classrooms.

¨ Exclusive Windward Scholar Orientation – We’ve designed a special orientation program for Windward Scholars on Friday, August 8, 2025.
