UGA awards Charter Scholarship to 2011 recipients

A group of University of Georgia incoming freshmen has been awarded the Charter Scholarship for the 2011-2012 academic year.

The Charter Scholarship, funded by the University of Georgia Foundation, is named to reflect the university’s distinction as the nation’s first state-chartered public university.

Recipients are incoming first-year undergraduates with stellar academic records, leadership and community involvement, and a respect for and commitment to intellectual, social and cultural diversity. Usually the top six to eight percent of entering first-year students are named Charter Scholars.

The award provides $1,000 per year in addition to the HOPE Scholarship to Georgia high school graduates. Out-of-state recipients are given partial non-resident tuition differential waivers with their $1,000 annual scholarships.

The scholarship can be renewed for an additional three years of undergraduate study if the recipients maintain certain academic standards.
