The Rowan Diversity Scholarship

This scholarship is committed to creating and reinforcing a welcoming multicultural learning community within the College of Engineering. A “Diversity Scholar” receives financial assistance to recognize their academic achievement and potential for sharing their varied cultural perspective with the UGA engineering community. This scholarship is available to first year, transfer and continuing engineering students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Criteria for selecting Diversity Scholars include an academic record that demonstrates the potential for academic achievement. Each scholar must be enrolled in the UGA engineering program the first semester that the scholar enters the University and must be a member of an ethic group that is under represented in the College of Engineering. The financial assistance provided by this scholarship is renewable each semester based on the academic achievement of the scholar and the scholar’s progress toward earning an engineering degree.

The Rowan Leadership Scholarship

This scholarship is committed to recognizing and supporting student activities that combine learning with leadership. Leadership scholars receive financial assistance to recognize their contributions and service to the College of Engineering, the University of Georgia and the Athens-area community and their academic achievements.
