Suzanna Gamble, a junior in early childhood education from Cumming, has been awarded the 55th Paul Tappan Harwell Scholarship.
Gamble received an award of $750 and will use the money during her student teaching semester in the fall of 2009.
The scholarship is funded through a $25,000 donation that was made in 1983 by Donna D. Harwell Odum, a UGA alumna now residing in Franklin, N.C., in memory of her late husband, who graduated from UGA with a degree in business administration. The Harwell family stipulated that the fund would provide scholarships for students in the College of Education majoring in elementary (early childhood) education.
The scholarship is awarded each year, based equally on financial need and academic achievement. Each applicant must submit an application form, a personal statement and three letters of recommendation. A committee of faculty members from elementary education makes the final decision.
