UGA's Engaged Scholar Award honors tenured associate or full professors who advance civic engagement through scholarship and service-learning opportunities for students and whose scholarship has made significant contributions toward identifying or addressing issues of public concern. The award provides the honoree with a $5,000 faculty development grant to support public service and outreach projects.
The Engaged Scholar Award is presented each year by the Office of the Vice President for Public Service and Outreach. The first award, formerly called the "Scholarship of Engagement Award," was presented in 2008.
