Latino Alumni Council Scholarship
The Latino Alumni Scholarship Endowment aims to provide support for first-generation undergraduate students who demonstrate a commitment to serving their communities.
Help students succeed in their personal, academic and professional endeavors by becoming a mentor. The UGA Mentor Program offers a personalized experience, allowing you to connect with students no matter your location or schedule. Not sure where to start? Head over to the Mentor Program website for resources and next steps.
UGA Alumni Councils exist to unite Bulldog alumni by fostering lifelong connections, advancing professional growth and mentorship, and serving as engaged ambassadors for the University of Georgia.
Through collaboration, philanthropy, and community involvement, these groups also support student success by strengthening pathways to higher education for future Bulldog leaders through scholarship fundraising.
