The Mary Virginia Terry Student Support Fund was established in 2013 to honor the inspirational leadership of educational and cultural philanthropist Mary Virginia Terry. The fund annually supports financial awards for undergraduate business majors.
In 1991, the University of Georgia named the College of Business after alumnus C. Herman Terry and his wife Mary Virginia in honor of their generous gift to the business school. A native of Quitman, Georgia, Mrs. Terry’s unconditional support, service, and commitment to both the Terry College and UGA made her a true role model for future business leaders.
The awards may be utilized for domestic or international travel (including study abroad programs), books, conference fees, tuition, professional development, and career advancement. Selection will be based on academic achievement, philanthropic/community service, and leadership qualities.
During Fall semester, online application information and timelines are provided. The Office of Alumni Relations administers these awards.
