Letter from the Foundation Chair
What an honor it will be to witness the future successes of this foundation and the University of Georgia, especially those we cannot imagine today.
450 new scholarships since 2017

Since January 2017, the UGA Foundation has been matching gifts of $50,000, $75,000, or $100,000 to establish endowed need-based scholarships for undergraduates. This program constitutes a meaningful step toward eliminating financial obstacles for those seeking a UGA education.

In 2018–19, the University surpassed its goal of creating 400 new Georgia Commitment Scholarships.
