This week on Georgia On Your Mind, Maya Jarrell sits down with Chris Green at the Georgia Student Finance Commission office in Decatur, Georgia to discuss his journey from Athens native to President of the Commission. He reflects on how receiving the HOPE Scholarship shaped his opportunities, guided his education at the University of Georgia, and inspired him to dedicate his career to making higher education more accessible.

Chris shares insights on leading initiatives like GEORGIA MATCH, supporting students who may never have considered college, and busting myths about financial aid. From navigating his own career path to shaping Georgia’s future talent pipeline, he offers a candid look at leadership, opportunity, and the impact of investing in students.
