Ash Service Award

Katherine and Darren Ash established the Ash Service Award to cultivate and support a culture of locally focused community service within the UGA Honors Program. Awards will support two Honors students who intern full-time in the summer on behalf of a local service organization, supporting programming that improves local communities.

The two recipients of the Ash Service Award will receive a $3,000 stipend to cover their cost of living while interning for a local service organization for approximately 8 weeks full-time in the summer of 2013.

Applicants must provide documentation of organizational support and an already established relationship to be considered for the award. To be eligible, you must be an Honors student in good academic standing who, as of summer 2013, will be a rising second, third, or fourth year. Competitive applicants will have already demonstrated a commitment to community service through prior sustained involvement. Upon completing the required service hours, recipients must provide documentation of the hours served and a report detailing the internship.

Honors International Scholars Program

The Honors International Scholars Program (HISP) supports second- and third-year Honors students engaging in overseas opportunities by providing 30-40 scholarships per year, ranging from $2500 to $5000. Students have used HISP funding to participate in traditional university-sponsored study abroad programs, university-to-university exchanges, intensive language-training institutes, internships, and public service projects. HISP awards are merit-based, taking into account GPA, quality of essays, and fit of the program to the student’s academic and professional goals.  The amount of each award depends upon program costs, financial need, and funds available. The majority of awards are earmarked for travel to Asia, Latin America, and Africa. A limited number of awards, however, can be granted for travel elsewhere, especially to students traveling abroad for the first time or demonstrate significant financial need. For some awards, preference is given to Terry College majors. 

Applications are available in August and due in early November for travel the following year. Award winners are announced in December. For further information, contact Maria de Rocher in the Honors Program and see the HISP page.
