Georgia Institute of Technology

What is the cost of studying for a year at Georgia Institute of Technology?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $10,512 for Georgia residents and $32,938 for nonresidents. Required fees were reported as $1,546 for either group, bringing those tuition-and-fee figures to approximately $12,058 and $34,484, respectively. Residency classification therefore has a substantial effect on the published price.

• Reported tuition and required fees, Georgia resident: approximately $12,058 for 2025-26.
• Reported tuition and required fees, nonresident: approximately $35,092 for 2025-26.
• Reported typical annual room and board: $13,996; reported books and supplies: $800.

Adding those reported room, board, and book estimates yields approximately $26,854 for a resident or $49,280 for a nonresident, before transportation, personal spending, and other possible expenses. These calculations are illustrations based on the same reporting year, not Georgia Tech's full official cost-of-attendance budgets or bills for every student. Housing choice, meal plan, course materials, and travel can change the total.

Published cost is also different from net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported income-based data, average net price was $7,209 for students from families earning $48,000 or less and $17,396 for those above $110,000. Averages are not aid offers. Eligible students may combine federal aid, Georgia's HOPE or Zell Miller programs, institutional scholarships, and other assistance; the rules differ by award. FAFSA information and, when applicable, Georgia state-aid requirements determine which programs a student can be considered for. The percentage receiving any reported financial aid was 73%, while 17% had student loans. Before committing, applicants should compare their individual aid offer with the current cost-of-attendance budget, not just tuition.

What are the work-study opportunities at Georgia Institute of Technology?

Georgia Tech students may seek campus jobs, career-related work, and - if eligible - Federal Work-Study positions. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that permits a student to earn wages through an approved job; it is not a grant paid in advance or a guarantee of employment.

Students generally indicate interest in work-study through the FAFSA and review their aid offer for eligibility. Other campus jobs may not require a work-study award. Georgia Tech's career resources include advising, résumé and interview preparation, employer events, job-search tools, and support for internships and cooperative education. A co-op or internship can offer sustained professional experience, but its pay, academic requirements, and effect on a student's graduation schedule depend on the particular position and program. Students comparing work options should distinguish wages they must earn over time from aid already credited to a bill.
