Scholarship Stewardship Coordinator

Since our founding in 1785, the University of Georgia has operated as Georgia's oldest, most comprehensive, and most diversified institution of higher education (https://www.uga.edu/). The proof is in our more than 235 years of academic and professional achievements and our continual commitment to higher education. UGA is currently ranked among the top 20 public universities in U.S. News & World Report. The University's main campus is located in Athens, approximately 65 miles northeast of Atlanta, with extended campuses in Atlanta, Griffin, Gwinnett, and Tifton. UGA employs approximately 3,100 faculty and more than 7,700 full-time staff. The University's enrollment exceeds 41,000 students including over 31,000 undergraduates and over 10,000 graduate and professional students. Academic programs reside in 19 schools and colleges, including our newly formed School of Medicine.

The Division of Development and Alumni Relations at the University of Georgia advances the goals, objectives, and priorities of the university by generating private financial support, building, and maintaining relationships with alumni and donors, and assisting students with career development opportunities.

The Office of Donor Relations and Stewardship turns donors into loyal supporters through an effective "thank you." We foster deeper relationships by demonstrating appreciation for the impact our donors are making in the lives of our students, faculty, and broader community. Our stewardship plan is critical to fundraising by enriching the experience our donors have with the university and instilling trust. Donors can count on timely acknowledgements, accurate reporting, appropriate recognition, and meaningful events to remind them that they are an essential part of the UGA family. Our collaborative, university-wide efforts connect donors to our organization proactively and intentionally, securing ongoing support and lifelong engagement.
