It’s time to apply for financial aid for the 2025-26 school year. There are two steps for continuing students and three for prospective incoming first-year students, and all students can start now with the 2025-26 Georgia Tech Application for Scholarships and Financial Aid (GT App). The FAFSA will be available Dec. 1.
Effective July 1, the new director will assume the role.
The enrollment deposit deadline for incoming first-year Georgia students is now May 15. The deadline for non-Georgia students remains May 1.
Georgia Tech students can now complete the new FAFSA form, which launched on Dec. 31.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid — commonly known as FAFSA — has undergone significant changes and will be released in December 2023, two months later than in years past. To maximize their opportunity to secure need-based aid, students should start their financial aid process as soon as possible by completing the GT Application for Scholarships and Financial Aid, which is available now.
