The Demaryius A. Thomas Scholarship Endowment will endow academic scholarships to attend Georgia Tech for incoming freshmen students from Laurens County, Ga., where Thomas was born and raised, or surrounding areas who demonstrate significant financial need. Scholarship awards will range from full scholarships to partial scholarships that may be combined with other forms of aid and split to cover costs for multiple need-based students. Scholarships will follow recipients through the completion of their degree at Georgia Tech, provided they remain in good academic standing. To initially qualify for the Thomas Scholarship, recipients must have a 3.2 or higher high school grade point average and should have demonstrated community service involvement.
 
Just saw on social media that there is a new GT scholarship for kids from Lauren’s County with financial need. This is an awesome tribute to No. 8.


Endowed by Peyton Manning’s foundation. Peyton is a good dude.
 
I'm curious what the team/Tech is going to do on 8/8...maybe a general comm service day?
 
 
I've never been a big Peyton Manning guy, but this is just a class act. Good on him.
 
This is ööööing tremendous. Tells you how much Peyton thought of Thomas. An amazing gesture and quite an honor. I've been ambivalent about Peyton over the years (although I always appreciated his work ethic, intelligence, and sense of humor) but this move bought an immense amount of good will AFAIAC. God bless him!
 
The better honor him in a big way this season and not öööö this up.
