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 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) based on your transfer semester. Our office uses the FASFA to determine whether you qualify for federal, state, or institutional funds that carry a financial need component.
Please note: Georgia residents who wish to apply for the HOPE/Zell Miller Scholarship ONLY may complete the Georgia Student Financial Aid Application (GSFAPPS) 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.
Students starting in the Spring and Summer 2022 semesters should complete the 2021-22 FASFA using their 2019 tax information. Students starting in the Fall 2022 semester should complete the 2022-23 FAFSA using their 2020 tax information.
