Graduate Feeder Program
The Graduate School seeks to create a more diverse graduate student body at the University of Georgia by promoting opportunities in graduate education to all populations. The UGA Graduate Feeder program provides a supportive transition for undergraduate students as they learn about applying to graduate school and as they begin to assume the role of a graduate student at the University of Georgia.
As of Fall 2009, the UGA Graduate Feeder program is available to students currently attending or having graduated from the following five institutions:
Prospective graduate students from these institutions will have the opportunity to participate in UGA’s annual Graduate School Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP), Future Scholars Visitation Program (FSVP), and the Summer Bridge program.
Benefits of participation in the UGA Graduate Feeder program include an application fee waiver for the University of Georgia Graduate School and consideration for a graduate school assistantship if admitted to the University of Georgia. The assistantship includes a reduced matriculation fee, monthly stipend and a strong peer mentorship component.
Students interested in the UGA Graduate Feeder program must be nominated by a key representative at their home institution. To learn more about the nomination process for this program, please contact the UGA Graduate School Outreach and Diversity office at grecruit@uga.edu or 706-425-3206.
