Aspire to Service and Leadership
The President's Scholarship is Georgia Tech's most prestigious merit scholarship and is offered annually to about 100 outstanding high-school seniors who have demonstrated superb leadership skills, are among the top few in their class in academic performance, and show promise of continuing such performance in college and beyond.
President's Scholars enjoy a multitude of benefits while at Georgia Tech, including priority housing and study-abroad stipends.
We encourage you to find out more about the President's Scholarship by visiting our page for Prospective President's Scholars.
Class of 2010 Update
Over 6,800 high school seniors applied in time for PS consideration, a 24% increase over last year.
Approximately 364 students have been chosen as semifinalists thus far. This group has a middle 50% range on the SAT of 2200-2310. About 95% have a 4.0+ weighted GPA. [Over 750 applicants thus far have 2200+ on the SAT and 4.0+ GPAs. We chose about the top half of that group, with strong consideration given to the leadership and activity records and essays.]
By 5 p.m. on Nov. 20, we will have mailed letters and sent emails to those chosen as semifinalists. The remainder of the semifinalists, about 250, will be chosen by the middle of December.
Students not chosen as President's Scholarship semifinalists will not be notified.
