James L. Carmon Scholarship
The James L. Carmon Scholarship is an academic year scholarship awarded to a graduate student whose dissertation/thesis research reflects state-of-the-art utilization of computer and/or networking technology in the sciences or creative arts. It is in memory of Dr. James L. Carmon, a UGA faculty member for 36 years, who helped advance computer research and development at the university.
Departments may nominate up to two candidates through their graduate coordinators.
Deadline for nominations to be received by the Office of Research: Third Tuesday in September, which is September 17, 2024 for the 2024-2025 cycle.

Graduate Coordinators should submit nominations through UGA’s InfoReady Portal via the James L. Carmon Scholarship – Nomination Form for Graduate Coordinators.
Robert C. Anderson Memorial Award
As a memorial to Dr. Robert C. Anderson, former Vice President for Research and President of the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc., two awards to recent graduates of the University of Georgia Graduate School are made annually. Usually, although not necessarily, one award is made in the natural sciences and one in any other field. This award reflects an outstanding record of research accomplishment carried out as part of a candidate’s graduate studies and during the period immediately following receipt of the terminal degree.
University of Georgia graduate students who have received their terminal degree no more than two years prior to the award year are eligible for nomination. For example, anyone that has already graduated in 2023 or 2024 is eligible to be nominated in the November 2024 deadline.
Deadline for nominations to be received by the Office of Research: November 1, 2024.
The detailed guidelines can be found here.
Nominations are made by the nominee’s major professor and graduate coordinator. Graduate Coordinators should submit nominations through UGA’s InfoReady Portal via the Robert C. Anderson Memorial Award – Nomination Form for Graduate Coordinators.
Please note that the submission forms are to be used by Graduate Coordinators (or a designated staff program assistant) to submit nominees for their department. Graduate Coordinators (or a designated staff program assistant) should click “Nominate Candidate” and log-in to InfoReady with their UGA MyID and password.
