Scholarships
Thanks to generous alumni and friends of Georgia Tech, there are some scholarships available to international students. Please see the descriptions below for details about eligibility requirements and amounts. Please note that those who are on post-completion OPT but enrolled in courses are ineligible for funding from private donors.
Most funds prioritize students facing unforeseen need. Because of this, applications open at the start of the academic year (or when funds become available) and remain open on a rolling basis until recipients are identified and funds run out. Apply by submitting the "International Student Emergency Funding & Scholarships" e-form in istart.gatech.edu under Programs and Events. If you do not see funding that you are eligible for, we encourage you to submit an e-form request for our office to review.
