Hey guys,
Heard that UGA may be sending out email notifications today for students who will be invited to interview for Foundation Fellows/Ramsey Scholar at UGA. Thought I would start a discussion here for those who applied and may want to connect with others who are waiting notification.
Hi @Nomorelurker - Thanks for starting this thread. Where did you hear that email notifications might be coming today? My D applied and we were thinking she might hear today or next Friday - we’d noticed that they tend to notify on Friday afternoons the second or third week in January. I was a little afraid that it might be next Friday, so I’m glad to hear that you have information it will be today.
My D doesn’t have her hopes up too much for this since it’s so, so competitive, but you never know! It is such an incredible opportunity for the recipients and we love that just being invited to interview guarantees receipt of the Ramsey Scholarship. Good luck to you and to any other hopefuls!
@emmycat,
I am 100% sure that the emails are going out today at the end of the day. It was this same day last year I believe as well, but I am certain it is today. I believe an email is going out to all applicants so getting an email does NOT mean your D or S has been given the invite to interview. Agree it is an incredible opportunity. Good luck to all!
Just a hunch on my part, even if you don’t get picked for one of the big scholarships, I think applying helps you get noticed for some of the smaller ones and also helps getting selected for honors. It surely helped one of my children. So I wouldn’t consider it time wasted.

Yup! Mine too.
My D isn’t a finalist. Was expected, but still disappointing. She did get a Charles McDonald Brown Scholarship, so that is nice and means UGA will likely be one of her best financial options (she’s in-state and has the Hope too). Hope some of you made finalist! Her letter said they invited 55 out of 1200 applicants.
My D wasn’t selected as finalist. No other scholarships were awarded in the letter nor was she offered honors college. We thought sometimes they offered in this letter. Just said she would still be considered. She has the Classic so far.
Just got the email that I am a finalist! Getting excited for the interview weekend!
My S is a finalist. Very excited for him. Congrats to @EricBlair18 on making finalist and to @Emmycat on the Charles McDonald Brown. And to @montanascout on the Classic. Everything helps. Fortunate to be instate and have Hope and the opportunities at UGA. Go Dawgs!
Any others planning to attend FF weekend next month?
