Named in honor of Marta Garcia upon her retirement, the Marta Garcia Student Support Scholarship Endowment Fund has been made possible thanks to the support of Georgia Tech alumni across the nation and world. The endowment will support undergraduate students, a passion of Garcia’s throughout her career at Georgia Tech.

Garcia began connecting with Georgia Tech’s internationally based alumni while she was director of development for the College of Engineering. She was instrumental in engaging with alumni and securing support for Georgia Tech-Europe, and was involved with the creation of France-Atlanta, an annual event series co-organized by the Consulate General of France and Georgia Tech. For these efforts, Garcia was inducted into the Legion of Merit by French President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2012. 

Garcia’s colleagues in International Development initiated the endowment to perpetuate her remarkable legacy and deep commitment to international students.
