<p>Apparently this is a new scholarship this year, valued at 3k/year. It replaces, rather than adds to, Charter, alas.</p>

<p>Anyone else get one?</p>

<p>That’s good to see they’re adding more “mid-range” scholarships, I know that had been in the plans for awhile now. Congrats on getting it!</p>

<p>Does anyone know how to get the applications for the UGA Presidential Scholarship or the Georgia Incentive Scholarship?</p>

<p>How did you get the application?</p>

5

<p>There is no separate application - both of those scholarships are coordinated by the Admissions office so you will automatically be considered by virtue of submitting an application.</p>

<p>

<p>Charter, Presidential, and One also work the same way… no separate scholarship application required.</p>

<p>Wait, they didn’t get rid of Charter, did they?</p>

<p>No, UGA didn’t get rid of Charter.</p>

<p>I applied at uga this year. I have a 4.0 GPA and 29 act. Do I have a good shot at the presidential scholarship?</p>

<p>I think your test scores are too low. Your ACT score falls within the average for admitted students in 2012.
Mid-50% range for the ACT: 27-31</p>

<p>Can you resit it before the Dec 15 deadline?</p>

<p>Found another stat:
ACT Middle 50% of Admitted Scholarship Students: 30 - 33

<p>My student received the presidential leadership scholarship last year. My child’s GPA and test scores were high enough for admission to the honor’s program. My child applied for the foundation fellows and in the letter notifying our student that he had not been selected, he was told that he was being awarded the presidential scholarship on the basis of academic achievement and leadership involvement outside of the classroom. We know many students in the honors program who had stellar GPAs and test scores who were not awarded additional scholarships. The difference between getting a scholarship or not was not grades, but was in the extracurriculars and leadership qualities exhibited by the students.</p>
