For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled approximately $4,532 for Georgia residents: $3,288 in tuition plus $1,244 in required fees. The corresponding out-of-state figure was approximately $13,844, including $12,600 in tuition and the same reported fees.
Those amounts are not a complete annual cost of attendance. Reported room and board charges totaled $14,590, and the books-and-supplies estimate was $1,660. Adding those items to the reported tuition and fees produces about $20,782 for a resident or $30,094 for a nonresident, before transportation and personal expenses. That illustration uses the reported housing and dining figures; it is not what every commuter or resident will pay.
A student's net price is the cost left after applicable grants and scholarships, not the published tuition price. In the reported data, the average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $14,738. Averages for other income groups differed, and an individual aid offer may differ substantially. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, Georgia aid such as HOPE or Zell Miller where they meet the rules, and institutional scholarships. Completing the FAFSA and checking GGC's scholarship requirements are necessary steps for determining which options actually apply.
GGC students can pursue campus employment and, if eligible, Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is need-based federal aid that pays a student for approved work; it is not a grant automatically credited against a tuition bill, and an award does not by itself secure a job.
Students can use GGC's financial aid and student-employment resources to check eligibility, search openings and learn how to apply. Ordinary part-time campus jobs may have different funding and eligibility rules. An internship is different again: it may be paid or unpaid, may carry academic credit, and is not required of every GGC student.
For longer-term career planning, reported services include individual career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, career fairs and employer recruitment. Students can use those services to explore a major or prepare applications, but access to career support should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome.
