The President's Scholarship is Georgia Tech's premier merit-based scholarship. Recipients are selected from the top applicants for admission to Georgia Tech, based on demonstrated excellence in academic and leadership performance. From the applicant pool, students selected as semifinalists submit teacher recommendations and are interviewed. The top semifinalists will be named finalists and invited with their parents to campus for an interview and information weekend in March. Current Georgia Tech students, transfer students, and international students are not eligible.

Each year, approximately sixty incoming freshmen receive President's Scholarships, which are renewable for up to four academic years, contingent upon honors-level performance and continued leadership development as evidenced by involvement in campus or community activities. Awards are worth up to a full ride, including tuition, room and board, books, fees, and personal expenses. See the Web site below for more information on stipends.

To be considered, a student must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, apply as an incoming freshman, and submit the Georgia Tech Application for Freshman Admission, along with the application fee, with a postmark no later than October 31 of their senior year.
