G. Wayne Clough Georgia Tech Promise Program Background
From its inception, the Georgia Institute of Technology has had a tradition of providing access to financially disadvantaged students, beginning first with low tuition and fee charges, coupled with available scholarships, student loans, and the nation's largest voluntary co-op program. Because of these programs, Georgia Tech has opened the doors of opportunity for many students—some who have been first—generation college graduates.
Although Georgia Tech is recognized as one of the nation's best buys in higher education, the cost of pursuing that education remains one of the major expenses that families face. If your dream is to enroll at the Georgia Institute of Technology as a freshman or undergraduate transfer student but you feel your family cannot afford the cost of a Tech education, then you should look into the new G. Wayne Clough Georgia Tech Promise Program.
The G. Wayne Clough Georgia Tech Promise Program is designed to fill a gap in the financial aid support system. Awards from the G. Wayne Clough Georgia Tech Promise Program will be individually tailored to meet the financial need of each recipient and provide funds to meet the costs of full-time resident tuition, mandatory fees, an allowance for books, and the expenses related to on-campus housing and meal plan. Assistance will include scholarships, grants, and job opportunities that, when combined, will meet the student's calculated financial need without the necessity to borrow.
The bottom line is we believe that Georgia students from all economic backgrounds should have the opportunity to attend the Georgia Institute of Technology. The G. Wayne Clough Georgia Tech Promise Program was created to help Georgia families who need it most.
