Development
Through private gifts, UGA promotes and supports scholarships, endowed professorships, graduate fellowships, international study for students and faculty, research facilities and the campus master plan. Direct public support accounts for less than 40 percent of the annual operating budget. Therefore, through the Development Office, private gifts and pledges from individuals, foundations and corporations help to ensure the university's excellence in the academy.
