Summer First-Year Students

Tech Tower

Financial aid can help make college more affordable. We encourage all incoming students to apply for financial aid. You should file as early as you can to maximize your potential aid opportunities. By applying for financial aid, you're automatically considered for all need-based aid. You will need to reapply for financial aid every year.

Since the Summer 2023 semester is part of the current 2022-23 academic year, you must submit the 2022-23 aid applications mentioned below, along with any other supplemental documentation requested, for summer financial aid consideration.

Application Steps

Prospective first-year students admitted to start in Summer 2023 should apply for financial aid by completing the following aid applications:

If you wish to receive funds from any federal, state, or institutional sources for the summer semester, you must complete the 2022-23 Georgia Tech Application for Scholarships and Financial Aid (GT APP).

Please note: Students who have been awarded funds from outside/private scholarships must also complete a GT App so that the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (OSFA) may determine the proper disbursement schedule for your funds.

Items Needed
To complete the GT App, you will need a GT Account username and password to login to OSCAR and access the form. To activate your GT account, visit passport.gatech.edu.

Submit the GT App

In addition to the GT App, if you wish to be considered for Federal Aid or need-based institutional funds, you must also complete the 2022-23 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) using your 2020 tax information. This application is available until June 30, 2023.

Please note: Georgia residents who wish to apply for the HOPE/Zell Miller Scholarship ONLY may complete the Georgia Student Financial Aid Application (GSFAPPS) form instead of the FAFSA. The GT App is also required.

Items Needed

  • Georgia Tech's Title IV school code: 001569.
  • Your social security number and, if you are a dependent student, your parents’ social security numbers.
  • Your driver’s license number if you have one, or Alien Registration number if you are not a U.S. citizen.
  • Federal tax information or tax returns from two years prior including IRS W-2 information, for you (and your spouse, if you are married), and for your parents if you are a dependent student.
  • If you are selected for verification, you will need to provide the specific documentation requested based on academic year and your dependency status. Financial aid awards are not final and will not be disbursed until the verification process is complete.

FAFSA processing can take up to 3 – 5 business days after completion.

Submit the FAFSA

The Georgia Student Financial Aid Application (GSFAPPS) is the state aid application for Georgia residents who want to be considered for the HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship ONLY. You do NOT need to complete the GSFAPPS if you are applying for federal financial aid and submitting the FAFSA. To be considered for the HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship, you must also complete the GT App.

Submit the GSFAPPS

Important Dates and Deadlines

The priority filing date to be considered for need-based aid awarded through Georgia Tech’s OSFA is January 31.

To be considered an “on-time” financial aid applicant, all applicable aid applications listed above, as well as any requested documentation, must be received and complete by January 31. OSFA will continue to accept late applications and documentation after the priority date. However, we strongly encourage all applicants to submit their completed applications and documentation as soon as possible so we can determine your eligibility for other types of aid.

Next Steps

Since the Fall 2023 semester is part of the upcoming 2023-24 academic year, the applications above do not cover the upcoming fall semester. If you wish to apply for financial aid for the Fall 2023 semester, you must complete the fall first-year aid applications separately, along with any other supplemental documentation requested.
