WHAT IS THE PRESIDENT'S SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM?
The President's Scholarship is Georgia Tech's premier merit-based award. It is offered to approximately 110 outstanding entering freshmen who have demonstrated superb leadership skills, are among the top few in their class in academic performance, and show promise of continuing such performance in college and beyond.
The amount of the scholarship depends on a student's final ranking in the competition. At least the top five Georgia residents and the top five non-Georgia residents will be awarded full rides. The remaining awards will be split among the other levels.
There is no longer a separate application for the scholarship; instead, interested students must now only apply for admission to Georgia Tech by October 31. Semifinalists are selected based on the application for admission, and are interviewed by Georgia Tech alumni in the local area or over the phone. Finalists are invited to attend President's Scholarship Weekend on the Tech campus. More information on how to apply for the President's Scholarship is available by contacting the PSP Office.
The scholarships are renewable for a total of four academic years (8 semesters) or until the completion of the first undergraduate degree, as long as students meet the requirements.
The program is funded by the Georgia Tech Foundation through contributions by alumni, faculty, staff, and industry.
