2026 Dawg Camp Fee Waiver Applications

2026 FEE WAIVER PROGRAM

The Dawg Camp Fee Waiver Program is designed to assist incoming, first year and transfer students who are interested in attending Dawg Camp but are in need of financial assistance. Fee Waivers cover the cost of attending Dawg Camp which includes all meals, lodging, in-camp transportation, and program materials. 
 
FEE WAIVER CRITERIA

Fee Waivers are open to all students who are admitted to the University of Georgia for Fall 2026. Applicants must have officially committed to UGA and paid their Admissions Deposit. Applicants must complete the fee waiver application in its entirety by the stated deadline.

FEE WAIVER DETAILS

Applicants must complete the Dawg Camp Fee Waiver Application in its entirety.

Dawg Camp Professional Staff will review all completed applications and select recipients based on their financial need/constraint and the quality of their essay responses. Waivers will be awarded until allocated funds are depleted.

Upon selection, recipients will be notified and given information regarding their camp and any additional information needed from the recipient prior to their Dawg Camp program.

All recipients will be expected to write a reflective essay about their experience within two weeks of attending their respective program.

AWARD TIMELINE

Dawg Camp Fee Waivers will continue to be awarded until funds are depleted. Applications will receive a funding decision within 1 - 2 weeks with our original review starting early May. 

This notification e-mail will be sent regardless of the decision made. If a award recipient decides to no longer attend the program that they were awarded a waiver for, their waiver will be awarded to another candidate.

Fee Waiver recipients will be expected to submit all registration information and waivers to attend the program two weeks before the start of their program. Fee Waiver recipients will be asked to submit their written reflection within two weeks of attending their respective program.
