Foundation Fellowship
Scholarship · University of Georgia · Online
UGA's premier undergraduate scholarship, with the Bernard Ramsey Honors Scholarship as the second tier.
Our take
UGA's top scholarship: full cost, funded travel and research, about 25 a year. For Georgia students it is one of the best deals in the country. Requires the separate application.
“Helps an application” is our read on how much an admissions reader is likely to weigh it: Strong means getting in or placing is a real achievement, Solid means it shows real interest and effort, and Light usually means most students who apply and pay can attend. It’s our opinion, not a ranking from any college, and a light one can still be a great summer.
