Does Georgia Tech have scholarships which would cover out of state tuition?

Scholarships are critically important to me. I really want to go to this school. However, there is no way I can afford to pay the out of state tuition otherwise. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. #scholarships #outofstate #georgia-tech

Ashi’s Answer

Hello! I am an out of state student as well at Georgia tech. Although I don't know of any scholarships targeting out of state students, I know that there are a lot of scholarships online. There are many with a low amount of applicants, especially the ones on the lower $ end ($100,$500, etc). Sometimes these require generic essays that can be utilized in a variety of scholarship applications. There are also a lot of on campus jobs that can help with extra costs such as groceries, food, school supplies, etc. There are also a lot of good loan options out there.

Breanna’s Answer

Benjamin, this is a good question. Although I am unsure exactly regarding Georgia Tech, I would imagine it doesn't hurt to look into it on the school's website.


Three things to consider based on what my experiences/university offered:

  • I was a Georgia resident and went out of state. I know other Georgia residents that attended my university for engineering were able to get "in state" tuition, because none of the Georgia schools offer their type of engineering program. Maybe you could look at this and see if GA Tech offers your engineering program that none of your instate school's offer.
  • I also know that for my out of state school, if you had a certain SAT/ACT score, or GPA, you could qualify for in state tuition.
  • Another thing, (although not sure where you live), my school offered in state tuition for certain cities in neighboring states.


Otherwise, I would do research online, through your local church, companies, through your college career center, etc. to see if you are able to find scholarships to apply for to help pay for college costs.


Good luck with your next chapter!
Thank you comment icon I'm currently an out of state student at GT and can tell you that the financial aid is given on a need basis. As far as I can tell, the most they give to you in financial aid scholarships is 5,000 per year. I assume you could get more only if you are picked for scholarships by financial aid, or apply for outside scholarships, or department specific scholarships. Studying abroad for a semester can cut a ton of money for out of state tuition. It saved me 9,000 dollars. If you get financial aid, it isn't worth applying for outside scholarships, because your financial need will go down if you get scholarships, and you net 0 savings, because GT pays you less the difference. If you can't afford with the package they give you, don't expect to ever afford it without going into debt. Daniel

Rob’s Answer

I went there for undergrad & grad school - if that is truly your dream then anything is possible. The option to co-op through school with alternating a work term was a great help. You also could look at the residency requirements to see what possible path might work. Understand though that graduating with a degree having the reputation can certainly open some doors, but there are many other factors that will drive your career success in the long term. Good luck!

Aaron’s Answer

When I was at Georgia Tech, I knew several people in the Materials Engineering major who were able to receive in-state tuition because they were from states that did not have a Materials Engineering program.
