On October 18, 2024, the University of Guam’s Society of Emeritus Professors (SEPRS) awarded scholarships to six exceptional UOG students for the 2024-2025 academic year. Each recipient received $1,000 during a special ceremony held at the UOG Emeritus Hall.
The generous donors behind the scholarship are primarily SEPRS members, along with other supporters who contribute annually or through the SEPRS Scholarship Gala held each April.
This award is a one-time grant spanning two semesters, but students are encouraged to apply or re-apply each year.
The scholarship award ceremony was thoughtfully organized by the SEPRS Scholarship Committee in partnership with the UOG Financial Aid Office, UOG Endowment Foundation, and UOG Global Learning and Engagement.
