UGA awards 2009 Harris Scholarships

Athens, Ga. – Twenty-eight University of Georgia first-year students have been awarded Harris Scholarships for the 2009-2010 academic year.

The highly competitive merit award recognizes a limited number of outstanding graduates who attended a public or private high school in the Athens-Clarke County community. The recipients, who receive $2,000 per year, must have stellar academic records and demonstrate exceptional potential in leadership and community service activities.

Recipients can renew the scholarship for an additional three years of undergraduate study if they maintain certain academic requirements.
