Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus

Georgia Institute of Technology awards financial aid packages to its students on a need and merit-based basis. First-year applicants must fill out the FAFSA and the Georgia Tech Application for Scholarships and Financial Aid (GT Application) in order to be considered for merit scholarships. If students are looking to be considered for need-based aid, the CSS will also be necessary to be eligible for need-based Georgia Institute of Technology Funds. Each additional year the FAFSA and GT applications need to be submitted by students and their families. The CSS is only required for the first year and only for students seeking Georgia Tech financial aid based upon need.  

Resources to help guide students in determining how they will pay for Georgia Institute of Technology include a net price calculator that can be found on the Current Cost Overview Page along with a guide to understanding your award, helpful dates, and financial aid  disbursement information.There is also a helpful consumer information and resources page with links to federal sites and additional outside scholarship sites.
