Before we get too far from the graduation festivities, congratulations are in order for Asim Ahmed, Class of 2017. He was awarded the prestigious UGA Foundation Fellowship scholarship and will begin his studies in Athens this fall.

Below are some of the perks of this scholarship as outlined on their website:

Founded in 1972 by the University of Georgia Foundation’s trustees, the Foundation Fellowship is the University’s foremost undergraduate scholarship, placing students in a community of similarly dedicated scholars.

It offers a stipend that approximates the cost of attendance, a post-first-year Maymester study abroad program at Oxford University, individual travel-study grants, spring group travel-study, research and academic conference grants, dinner seminars with some of the University’s best minds, and a mentoring plan that matches Fellows with professors who share their interests.

Congratulations, Asim! We know great things are in store at UGA and we can’t wait to cheer you on! Go Dawgs!

Asim looks on as Angel Daniel braids his many honor cords!
