According to the state’s Complete College Georgia initiative, there will be an 18 percent gap between the number of Georgians who will have college degrees and what the state’s workforce will need in 2020. In response, the state fully funded the University System of Georgia’s enrollment formula, which will generate $72.5 million in new funds for the upcoming year. Through the funding boost, North Georgia College & State University will receive about $1.3 million in new money and Gainesville State College will be allocated just more than $660,000.
