ight students joining the Class of 2020 have received Bernard Ramsey Honors Scholarships, one of the university’s highest merit-based awards. The Ramsey Honors Scholarship was created by UGA Foundation trustees in 2000 and recognizes the university’s most generous individual benefactor to date, Bernard Ramsey, a former chairman of Merrill Lynch and a 1937 graduate of the UGA’s Terry College of Business. The incoming class of Ramsey Scholars has an average SAT score of 1547 (critical reading and mathematics scores) and an average ACT score of 35 (English and mathematics scores), with an average high school grade point of 4.28 on a 4.0 scale. “The new Ramsey Scholars have an impressive record of academic achievements and an exciting array of talents,” said David S. Williams, associate provost and director of the Honors Program. The Ramsey Honors Scholarship awards in-state students an annual stipend of $6,400 along with the Zell Miller Scholarship, while out-of-state students receive an annual stipend of $10,400 and out-of-state tuition waivers. Ramsey Scholars also receive $3,000 in travel-study grants for additional academic opportunities. The eight incoming Ramsey Scholars, listed below, bring the current number of recipients to 26.
