 
History & Mission
The International Link (“IL”) had its beginnings in the 1990s through the efforts of Jim & Carol Scogin, who had a desire to serve the many internationals in the Augusta, Ga., area. Out of their work The International Link was born in 2002 as a non-profit organization that would serve the international visitors who come to our campuses for study, research, and military training. Today IL exists as a non-profit, interdenominational Christian organization that works in cooperation with many local churches to serve international guests in the Central Savannah River Area. (Click here for a list of church partners.) We currently serve internationals at the following campuses:
•Georgia Health Sciences University
• Augusta State University
• Fort Gordon |
• Paine College
• Aiken Technical College
• Augusta Technical College |
Financial Support
IL is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that relies entirely on the financial support of individuals, churches, and corporations. We are an evangelical, Christian organization (click here to view our Statement of Faith).
