The Financial Aid Award Process at Georgia Tech

It's important for you to fully understand the kinds of awards that are possible at Georgia Tech and to understand how to read your financial aid offer letter.

Once you enroll in classes each semester, your financial aid awards become disbursements which are applied to the charges on your Bursar account each semester. The disbursement of your funds is contingent on you meeting specific requirements, including appropriate enrollment. Please note that audit coursework does not count toward enrollment requirements. Active participation in classes is a requirement for continued eligibility.
