UGA Foundation supports the University of Georgia with student aid, including scholarships and student awards. UGA Foundation works closely with the University to align with reporting and processing standards.
Resources or aid, to include scholarships, awards, or stipends that a student receives due to their enrollment at UGA will be processed in coordination with the Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA). This co-facilitates proper reporting and ensures compliance with IRS rules and the requirement that any educational benefits paid to a student, regardless of the source, are considered in the determination of eligibility for federal financial aid.
Recipients are selected by the responsible units in accordance with the qualification outlined in the donor fund agreement and OSFA policies and procedures. The Foundation may periodically review selection processes to ensure benefitting departments are abiding by the respective trust purpose.
