Students enrolled in a Georgia Tech study abroad program (including exchanges) can use their institutional financial aid for study abroad, and most programs offer in-state tuition for all students; there is an additional fee for non-residents ($250 for most study abroad programs and $2,500 for Georgia Tech Lorraine).

One way to make study abroad more affordable is through scholarships. Students are encouraged to visit www.oie.gatech.edu/scholarships for more information, including national scholarships available specifically for students who are studying abroad. After researching opportunities, students should meet with the Scholarships Advisor in the Office of International Education (OIE) to discuss how to submit a competitive application. Contact scholarships@oie.gatech.edu.

Below is a list of financial aid and scholarship application deadlines:

• January 30: Campus deadline for Boren Scholarship for summer, fall and academic year. Available to undergraduate students studying outside of Western Europe. For more information, please visit: www.borenawards.org.
• January 31: Application deadline for DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) Scholarship for upcoming academic year. Available to students studying in Germany for 4-10 months. For more information, please visit: www.daad.org.
• February 15: Students receiving financial aid who are planning to study abroad during the summer term will need to complete a summer financial aid application by February 15.
