Our Vision
Over the next decade, Georgia Tech will become an example of inclusive innovation, a leading technological research university of unmatched scale, relentlessly committed to serving the public good; breaking new ground in addressing the biggest local, national, and global challenges and opportunities of our time; making technology broadly accessible; and developing exceptional, principled leaders from all backgrounds ready to produce novel ideas and create solutions with real human impact.
We will deliver on this vision by building an outstanding and diverse community of learning, discovery, and creation in an inclusive and collaborative environment focused on innovation and access. We will develop healthy and vibrant learning environments that support holistic learning and personal growth.
We will be leaders in educational innovation and develop a global learning platform of unmatched impact and scale to support learners throughout their life journeys. We will challenge ourselves to push the boundaries of research while focusing on the most consequential questions and problems faced by humanity. And we will act as a creative engine that will position our city and our state as examples of inclusive entrepreneurship and innovation.
For the benefit of students at Georgia Tech who wish to improve their English communication skills that can increase their likelihood of academic and professional success now and in the future, we are providing links to organizations (some free, some for-profit), both on campus and off campus, whose mission concerns the teaching and learning of English as a second or other language.
Georgia Tech welcomes students with disabilities into the University's educational programs. The University promotes efforts to provide equal access and a culture of inclusion without altering the essential elements of coursework.
Scholarships are known as "gift aid." Scholarship awards are made on an annual basis and do not require repayment. Academic excellence, financial need, and major of study are the primary criteria used for selecting recipients. Students awarded scholarships will typically be expected to maintain a cumulative as well as a semester GPA of 3.0.
