University of Georgia student Mariah Cady was one of 32 students nationwide named a 2024 Rhodes Scholar this weekend. UGA is the only school in the SEC and one of only five public universities, in addition to the nation’s service academies, in the U.S. to have a Rhodes recipient this year.
Cady joins recipients from 64 countries around the world. UGA and Agnes Scott College were the only two institutions in Georgia to have Rhodes scholars in the 2024 cohort.
The Rhodes Scholarship is the oldest and most celebrated international fellowship award in the world. The 2024 Rhodes Scholars will begin their various courses of study as graduate students at the University of Oxford in October. Cady is a current Morehead Honors College student and Foundation Fellow at UGA. She is also a Security Leadership Program fellow in UGA’s School of Public and International Affairs.
