Financial Aid

Teaching and Research Assistantships

These assistantships require a student to assist faculty in their teaching or research. The School automatically considers for appointment to both teaching and research assistantships all students whose applications are approved for admission. For incoming students, these assistantships are awarded on the basis of academic promise. Graduate students who hold an assistantship (requiring at least one-third-time service) receive a tuition waiver. All decisions concerning financial support are made by the Graduate Admissions Committee upon recommendation by the faculty and the School's director.

Fellowships

The School may also apply for Institute-wide fellowships for students with excellent academic credentials. Current and prospective graduate students are also encouraged to apply for fellowships from organizations such as the National Science Foundation. In addition, as a part of its NIH training program, the Cognitive Aging Program provides several pre-doctoral fellowships for graduate students in aging.

Scholarships

Institutional and organizational scholarships provide funds on the basis of academic promise. Students are encouraged to apply for scholarships as soon as they have been accepted into the program. Georgia Tech’s Scholarship Homepage

Internships

In addition to graduate assistantships and fellowships, internships at corporate and research settings both within and outside Georgia Tech are available for advanced students. Students work for one term, most often during the summer to gain valuable work experience and to practice and apply what they have learned in their program.
