Five undergraduates receive mid-term Foundation Fellowships

Five students have been awarded mid-term Foundation Fellowships, UGA’s most prestigious undergraduate scholarship. Their fellowships will cover the final two years of academic study, including the full estimated cost of attending UGA as well as international travel-study grants, academic research and conference grants, and various academic enrichment opportunities.
The mid-term Foundation Fellows are Allison Carter, a cognitive science and history major from Macon; Kacie Moreno-Schoen, an ecology major from Tunnel Hill; Sarah Sattelmeyer, a biology and Honors interdisciplinary studies major from Tucker; Charles (Ty) Tuggle, a microbiology and biochemistry major from Memphis; and Leslie Wolcott, an English and Honors interdisciplinary studies major from Decatur. Students in the third semester of the Honors program with a minimum 3.70 cumulative GPA and two years of study remaining are eligible to apply for the mid-term fellowship.
“These students have tremendous academic records,” says Jere Morehead, associate provost and director of the Honors and Foundation Fellows programs. “We are confident that they will make great contributions to the Fellowship, the university and the local community through their intellectual talents, volunteerism and leadership.”
Carter, a Presidential Scholar, toured France as a member of the Baptist Student Union a cappella choir, and tutors students at Alps Elementary School and Clarke Central High School.
Moreno-Schoen, a Ramsey Honors Scholar earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees simultaneously, has conducted field research at the Maquipucuna Reserve in Ecuador and will present her findings at UGA’s annual Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities Symposium later this month.
Sattelmeyer, a National Merit Scholar, participated in the worksite experience program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and interned at Emory Rollins School of Public Health last summer.
Tuggle, who maintains a 4.0 GPA, has been involved with UGA organizations such as Communiversity, where he mentored underprivileged children, and the Big Event, a program to introduce freshmen to campus activities.
Wolcott, also a Ramsey Honors Scholar, has worked for the Georgia Rivers Network, a non-profit environmental studies group, which will use her research on the history of Georgia’s river basin areas in educational programs, including a series on National Public Radio.
The Foundation Fellows program was established in 1972 by the trustees of the UGA Foundation to create an enhanced educational experience for academically outstanding undergraduate students.
