International Students
International students are not eligible for federal or state financial aid programs, and institutional scholarships administered by Georgia Tech’s Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (OSFA) are often not awarded to international students. However, there are some alternative private and emergency financial aid options for international students.
Private Loans
A variety of privately funded loan programs are available to international students. Most banks require a creditworthy co-signer who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident with a permanent U.S. address. If approved for a private loan, our office will coordinate with the loan program.
Emergency Tuition Loan
International students who have an unforeseen financial situation may be eligible for an Emergency Tuition Loan administered by OSFA. These loans are available on a first come, first-served basis. Contact us for more information.
Payment Plans
Work directly with the Bursar and Treasury Services office if there is a small delay in payment (i.e. an international wire payment is taking longer than expected). Take advantage of the Bursar’s payment plan.
Other Solutions
The Office of International Education (OIE) provides additional guidance on financial assistance options and resources specifically for international students.
