Grants
Grants are gift aid that is not repaid. Only undergraduates who have not previously received a bachelor's degree are eligible. Grants are awarded to those who exhibit exceptional financial need and apply for aid by the priority filing date. Several types of grants are described below:
Federal Pell Grant
Pell Grants are awarded to eligible undergraduate students who do not have a bachelor's degree. Award amounts are based on the assumption of 12 eligible hours per semester. Some Federal Pell Grant recipients are eligible for partial awards for less than half-time enrollment.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
SEOG is awarded to undergraduate students who do not have a bachelor's degree and who demonstrate exceptional financial need. Award amounts vary and are determined by the availability of funds.
Academic Competitiveness Grant and SMART Grant
Two new federal aid programs have been created that may benefit eligible Georgia Tech students. For more information about these two new programs, please click here.
The Georgia Tech Grant
Annual grants are awarded to deserving Tech students who demonstrate financial need. The funds are donated by Georgia Tech alumni, industry friends, and others. Entering Freshmen are limited to receiving institutional grants for the first eight (8) terms of full-time enrollment. Students are limited to receiving grants for two (2) semesters of enrollment during an academic year (Fall, Spring, or Summer). A transfer student's eligibility will be determined on an individual basis depending upon hours transferred. These requirements for grant retention are in addition to meeting the renewal terms listed here.
