UGA awards 2009 Charter Scholarships in Forsyth
|
ATHENS - The 2009 class of first-year students at the University of Georgia includes 250 undergraduates who have been awarded Charter Scholarships for the 2009-2010 academic year. The Charter Scholarship, named to reflect the university's distinction as the nation's first state-chartered public university, recognizes first-year students with stellar academic records, leadership and community involvement, and a respect for and commitment to intellectual, social and cultural diversity.
The Charter Scholarship is funded by the University of Georgia Foundation.
In-state students receive $1,000 per year in addition to the HOPE Scholarship. Out-of-state recipients are given non-resident tuition waivers with their $1,000 annual scholarships. Usually the top five percent of entering first-year students are named Charter Scholars.
The average SAT score of this year's Charter Scholars exceeded 1400 and their average high school GPA exceeded 4.0.
