Edward T. and Sarah Laurent Kassinger Scholarship Award
Sep 17, 2007 - 9:30:35 PM
Kassinger Scholarship Award
This scholarship is administered and maintained by the Office of Security and Emergency Preparedness.
The award is named for Edward Kassinger, Director of the Public Safety Division from 1969-1983, and his late wife, Sarah. The award was established in 1984 by former employees and friends of the Kassinger's who believe that students who work to help pay educational expenses should be recognized. This is a cash award and students are eligible for the award even if receiving funds from the HOPE Scholarship or Tuition Assistance Program. The recipient(s) must have completed all academic requirements for graduation by the end of Spring Semester.* Annually the Edward T. and Sarah Laurent Kassinger Scholarship Award is given to a graduate and undergraduate student employed by the UGA Police Department or a working student in the Criminal Justice Studies Program. These students must be working on a full-time basis while pursuing academic degrees to be eligible for the award.
