Summer Aid

The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (OSFA) provides some forms of aid to eligible applicants during the Summer session. Grants and Intuitional Scholarships are very limited and are typically not available for Summer. The priority deadline for a completed application is February 15th.

***Please read the following information carefully, as Summer Semester has different requirements than other semesters.***

Summer Application Requirements

Students currently receiving aid and who wish to be considered for the same aid for summer must complete only the "Summer 2009 Georgia Tech Application for Scholarships and Financial Aid," which will be available on January 15th, 2009.

Note: The ONLY exception to this requirement is for those students who filled out a 2008-2009 Georgia Tech Application for Scholarships and Financial Aid indicating an attendance pattern of Fall (Attending), Spring (Co-Op Assignment) and Summer (Attending) and have already been awarded for Summer 2009. Check your financial aid award via Oscar Web if you are not certain

Summer Enrollment Requirements

Enrollment requirements for the Summer session are the same as those for the standard academic year. For example, all Institute scholarships require full time enrollment (at least 12 credit hours), and federal loans require at least half-time enrollment (at least 6 credit hours).

Transfer Students

Students transferring to Georgia Tech must also complete a "Summer 2009 Georgia Tech Application for Scholarships and Financial Aid," which will be available on January 15th, 2009. If you have already submitted the 2008-2009 FAFSA to another institution, you need to call 1-800-433-FAFSA and add Georgia Tech to the list of schools receiving FAFSA information! The Georgia Tech school code is 001569.

Note: If you wish to receive only the HOPE Scholarship, access the Georgia Student Financial Aid Application System in lieu of the FAFSA.

Study Abroad

To receive financial aid, students who elect to study abroad in a Georgia Tech-approved program must complete the "Summer 2009 Georgia Tech Application for Scholarships and Financial Aid."
Note: Summer funds for Study Abroad participants cannot be disbursed early to meet either program payment deadlines or student departure dates, which might fall before the scheduled disbursement date.

Transient Students

Co-op

Co-op students are generally not eligible for financial aid during the term of co-op assignment unless they are enrolled in credit hours in addition to co-op hours. For more specific information concerning eligibility during the co-op term, please contact your financial aid counselor.
