Outside Scholarships

There are many scholarship opportunities that do not involve Georgia Tech directly.  These are considered outside scholarships.  To locate outside scholarships, you may want to contact your high school guidance counselor, local civic organizations (i.e., Rotary, Lions, etc.), church groups, places of employment, and the web.

The following points are offered to assist in the accurate delivery of outside scholarship funds:
  • Checks should be mailed to:
    Georgia Institute of Technology
    Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid
    Attn: Maria Meador
    225 North Avenue
    Atlanta, GA 30332-0460
  • Checks should be made payable to "Georgia Institute of Technology".  If the scholarship check is made payable to you, or if it is made payable to you and the school, you must endorse the check before it can be applied to your account.
  • Checks must be received 10 working days prior to the semester's fee payment deadline in order to assure their availability.

If the check is not available at the time of the fee payment deadline, you may request a deferment from the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid prior to the fee payment deadline.  You must stop by the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (located on the 3rd floor of the Bill Moore Student Success Center) to request a deferment.

We are required by the Department of Education to reduce a student's need-based funds if we receive notification of an outside scholarship that meets this financial need.
