The University of North Georgia has received a federal grant for nearly $615,000 to support students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. The grant will provide annual, competitive scholarships of $4,362 to 24 talented, full-time freshmen who do not have their financial needs met through traditional financial aid in the school’s College of Science & Mathematics, according to a news release. Twelve scholarships will be awarded to students on UNG’s Dahlonega campus and 12 to students on UNG’s Gainesville campus.
