Scholarships

Considering applying for a scholarship to help fund your overseas education?  You will need to start your search early as many scholarship application deadlines are at least 6 months before you would leave for your program abroad.

GT Study Abroad Scholarships Blog: for frequent posting about scholarship opportunities!

Please see the scholarship brochure for information on some of the scholarships available for study abroad. This brochure lists many scholarships for which Georgia Tech students may apply. This list is not exhaustive, however, and we encourage you to research other scholarship opportunities, if these don't suit your needs.

One of the most challenging parts of applying for scholarship can be writing the essays!  The Scholarships Advisor in the Office of International Education is happy to help students through the process of writing and revising essays for study abroad scholarships.  Please contact the Scholarships Advisor for assistance.
