General Financial Aid Policies

• The student and his or her family are expected to make a reasonable effort to finance educational expenses. Financial assistance from Georgia Tech and other sources should be viewed as a supplement to the efforts of the family/student.
• In selecting financial aid recipients, the OSFA places emphasis on meeting financial need and recognizing academic achievement.
• Financial aid is only awarded to students who are fully admitted to Georgia Tech.
• Financial need is evaluated and aid awarded on an annual basis. The student must reapply for financial aid by the priority deadline each year.
• The student must report to the OSFA any scholarship, grant, fellowship, or loan received, or to be received, from an outside source. The receipt of such aid may result in the cancellation, reduction, and/or repayment of awards.
• The OSFA may cancel, reduce, or require repayment of any award because of changes in financial or academic status, academic program, residency status, or enrollment status. Students must notify OSFA of all such changes.
• Student financial aid is awarded based on the assumption that students will enroll for at least twelve credit hours per semester. Awards may be adjusted for any other enrollment status.
• Eligibility for aid is limited to coursework required for a degree program.
