HOW TO APPLY
To qualify as a candidate for the President's Scholarship, a student must simply:
• Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
• Apply for admission to Georgia Tech as an entering first-time freshman and have your application postmarked by October 31.
The Georgia Tech Application for Undergraduate Admission consists of a leadership and activity record (academic awards, school and community activities, summer enrichment, sports, volunteer activities, and work experience), a personal statement, and a record of standardized test scores (SAT or ACT).
Late or incomplete applications, as well as any items postmarked after October 31, will not be accepted under any circumstances. Submitting your application to Georgia Tech this early is not binding in any way. It is completely acceptable for you to submit an application to Georgia Tech and the President's Scholarship Program and still apply to other schools.
SAT or ACT scores from the November test will be considered if Georgia Tech is designated as an immediate recipient of the scores.
Students selected as semifinalists will receive a supplemental application that includes two teacher recommendation forms, and will be interviewed by regional committees. Semifinalists typically have earned top grades in the most challenging courses offered at their high schools, have SAT scores ranging from 1440-1560 for the middle 50 percent, and have demonstrated outstanding personal achievements and leadership outside the classroom in a variety of activities.
Finalists will be invited to President's Scholarship Weekend on the Georgia Tech campus for a second interview and other activities during March.
Questions should be directed to the President's Scholarship Program Office.
