Ramsey Scholars are eligible to apply for travel-study grants totaling up to $3,000. These grants may be used to participate in UGA or non-UGA study abroad programs, intensive language programs, research, internships, or public service projects. Although Ramsey Scholars typically use these grants in their post-second and post-third year summers, they can be combined with the regular semester stipend and used to study abroad at any time during the academic year.

Ramseys share their travel-study experiences with each other at their fall retreat, presenting reports and slideshows that highlight the significance of their travels and enrich the education of their peers.

Ramseys should discuss the academic merit and viability of their travel-study plans with the Scholarships Coordinator before submitting a formal grant request.
