Merit Scholarships

<p>Are there any merit scholarships available for current undergrads that aren't fellowship or ramsey?</p>

<p>Well, technically the HOPE is a merit scholarship. If you're in-state and have a GPA above 3.0, your tuition is automatically free. </p>

<p>There's the Charter, which is given to "approximately 250 incoming first-year students for demonstrated outstanding achievement in academics and criteria reflecting the Philosophy Statement for Undergraduate Admissions." If you're in-state, you get $1000 per year on top of the HOPE; if you're out-of-state, you get that $1000 plus either all tuition off or half off. </p>

<p>There's a few other, more specific ones, too, but most of these are only for in-state students. </p>

<p>More information about all of them [url=<a href="http://www.admissions.uga.edu/financial_firstyear.html%5Dhere%5B/url"&gt;http://www.admissions.uga.edu/financial_firstyear.html]here[/url&lt;/a&gt;].&lt;/p>

<p>You can get the Governor's Scholarship if you're in state and were a STAR student or Val. I wasn't told this till... a few weeks ago, so it's a rather annoyingly kept secret. It's 900 dollars a year.</p>

<p>There's the Robert C. Byrd scholarship... that depends on SAT scores, GPA, and an essay. I think it may be one person from each county gets that but I honestly can't remember with the numbers are and I'm to lazy to check [url=<a href="http://www.gacollege411.org%5DGAcollege411%5B/url"&gt;http://www.gacollege411.org]GAcollege411[/url&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p>
