The Summer Honors online application system registers accounts for applicants and for the parents, guidance counselors and teachers who will contribute. Users are tracked by email address, so make sure to use a current email you check often. When an application is submitted, the system sends an email from UNG Summer Honors to invite teachers to submit a recommendation and guidance counselors to upload a transcript.
The “school system” drop-down box provides a list of schools that provide scholarship assistance for students in their district. If you don’t find your school listed select “Other” unless your parent or legal guardian is a full-time employee of the University of North Georgia (any campus). In that case, select “UNG dependent” to be considered for a scholarship.
For teachers and guidance counselors, your school is preset to match the students and cannot be edited.
