The NMI is home to the Spark Awards which are graciously funded by an anonymous donor’s support. Students are chosen annually from eight departments within Franklin College and the New Media Institute.
The Spark Award provides funding for out-of-classroom learning and opens doors for students to pursue new experiences. Spark students use their funding for academic research and projects that spark their passion, motivation, and desire to do something great in the world.
Want to Help Light the Spark?
Georgia On Your Mind is one of many examples of how the Spark Awards enable students to expand their academic pursuits beyond the classroom, pursuing research and projects that spark their passion to do something great in the world. If you’re interested in contributing to the mission, all donations are welcomed and appreciated, and if you have creative ideas of future Spark initiatives, please reach out at nmi@uga.edu.
