Athens, Ga. – 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.
Students can renew the scholarship for up to three more years if they maintain certain academic standards.
