2024 Jim Day Housing Scholarship Winners
For the 2024-2025 academic year, University Housing awarded five students the Jim Day Housing Scholarship, which offers financial assistance to outstanding students to offset the cost of living on campus.
Recipients of the scholarships are current UGA students with on-campus room assignments who demonstrate financial need as determined by the UGA Office of Financial Aid. Recipients also must commit to living on campus for the fall and spring. These stand-out students contribute to others’ on-campus experiences by actively participating in their communities. Congratulations to the 2024 recipients!
