A $2.4 million gift from the Goizueta Foundation has expanded need-based scholarships at the University of Georgia for students who are fluent in Spanish. Three scholarship programs have been created.
The Opportunity Scholarship will provide need-based tuition support to a total of 60 incoming freshman and can be renewed for four years of undergraduate education.
The Leadership Scholarship Program will provide need-based tuition support to 28 students of exceptional academic talent. The program also provides mentoring support and extensive academic enrichment opportunities, such as seminars with distinguished faculty and visiting scholars.
The Transfer Opportunity Scholarship will support 36 successful students who wish to transfer to UGA. The program will reach students who might not otherwise be able to continue their education beyond an associate's degree.
