Georgia Tech is proud to offer awards from more than 850 institutional named scholarships. Institutional scholarships are awarded by Georgia Tech to help offset a student's costs to attend the Institution. Criteria for these scholarships vary. The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid will match candidates from the overall pool of financial aid applicants. The amount of the scholarship will vary and may be renewable or one-time awards. Students should apply each year to be considered for scholarships. Generally, entering first-year students are limited to receiving institutional scholarships for the first eight (8) terms of full-time enrollment. During an academic year, scholarships are generally awarded for two (2) semesters (Fall, Spring, or Summer). A transfer student's term-limit eligibility will be determined on an individual basis depending upon hours transferred.
