About the Donor

Bobby and Betty Hamil’s love for UGA and their desire to assist college students in pursuing their passion for elementary education was the motive for establishing this scholarship. Bobby and Betty were longtime educators in the Georgia school system, serving for over 30 years. Bobby earned his bachelor’s degree and Betty, her doctoral degree, from UGA. They continued their love of education even after retiring, serving students in need as missionaries in Liberia, China, and Russia.
