ACCEPT THE TECH CHALLENGE
Georgia Tech is looking for outstanding students with intense intellectual curiosity who are looking for opportunities to develop the mind, expand their knowledge of the world, and prepare themselves for leadership. Tech is one of the top universities in the nation, and we want to bring in students of the same caliber. We ask that our students step up to meet the Tech challenge.
At Georgia Tech, our students are at the heart of all we do, and we offer them the best of both worlds-the attention to undergraduate teaching of a liberal arts college and the opportunity to participate in a dynamic, world-class research enterprise. We view ourselves as a community of learners, all engaged together in the discovery of knowledge and all involved together in education, research, and reaching out beyond our campus. All of our students learn to rise to a challenge, to be creative in solving problems, and to anticipate and even provoke change. Their critical thinking skills and practical "can-do" attitude endear them to business and industry.
However, as society has stepped up its search for leaders who understand technology, Georgia Tech has stepped forward to meet that challenge. As we enroll excellent students from across the nation, we keep an eye out for the exceptional few who are among the very best not only in academic achievement, but also in potential for leadership and service. We invite these students to become President's Scholars.
President's Scholars study with the eminent faculty who are creating the knowledge that will carry our nation forward, and then work shoulder to shoulder with others who share a commitment to excellence. They receive substantial financial support for their education, personal attention, early registration for housing, and guaranteed on-campus housing.
If you aspire to excellence and leadership in a world dominated by technology, we hope that your next step on that journey will be to apply for consideration as a President's Scholar. The future holds great opportunities, and we invite you to accept the Tech challenge.
