University of Georgia awards 2008 George W. Woodruff Honors Scholarships

Athens, Ga. – The University of Georgia has awarded the George W. Woodruff Honors Scholarships to incoming freshmen Bre’Anna Brown and William Clark.

Brown, a Banneker High School graduate from College Park, is the daughter of Darrin and Nadine Brown. Clark, a Jefferson County High School graduate from Louisville, is the son of Bill and Kris Clark.

The scholarship is named after George W. Woodruff, a leading business executive and philanthropist who served on the board of directors for the Coca-Cola Company for 49 years. He was a life-long supporter of education and this scholarship recognizes his commitment to UGA.
