If you are a former scholarship Georgia Tech student-athlete and have not completed your undergraduate degree, we might be able to help. Student Athletes seeking aid beyond the 5th year from their matriculation term (term when you started college) may be eligible to receive additional aid towards tuition/fees/books*. This aid must be approved by the GTAA at least one month prior to term start date (by Program Administrator and Head Coach). This aid is available on a reimbursement basis only. This means the student is responsible for all upfront payment with the Institute. GTAA will reimburse the student only tuition/fees/books for degree applicable classes where the student completes the class with a grade of “C” or higher. In general, aid dollar amount is based on the average GTAA aid (in dollars) received during their previous years of enrollment at Georgia Tech. However, the total award will not exceed the current cost of tuition/fees/books*. Room & Board costs are not included in Degree Completion Aid. Students receiving Degree Completion Aid are required to work for the GTAA to receive such aid. You must perform satisfactorily each semester (school AND work) to receive your aid for current and subsequent semesters.
1. Out Two or More Consecutive Terms? A student who for any reason has remained out of school for two or more consecutive terms, must apply for readmission through the Institute. Read the “Georgia Tech Readmission Policy”. Full policy and additional details can be found here.
Application deadlines: (subject to change by Institute)
* Spring – December 1st
