College Scorecard (latest.cost.net_price.public.by_income_level.*), 2024

Estimate what your family would pay

Every school is required to publish a net price calculator. It asks about your family's finances and returns an estimate for you specifically, which is worth more than any average on this page. Your school counselor and the college's financial aid office can also help.

Scholarships and merit aid

Georgia Tech's marquee merit programs like HOPE and Zell Miller are reserved for Georgia residents, so out-of-state families should plan around full sticker price and lean on outside scholarships.
