The G. Wayne Clough Georgia Tech Promise Scholarship makes it possible for academically qualified in-state students with family incomes below $55,500 to earn a Georgia Tech degree debt free. The program is the first of its kind offered by a public university in the state of Georgia.

Founded in 2007 and named after Georgia Tech’s President Emeritus G. Wayne Clough, the program has supported more than 1,250 students from over 110 counties across the state in their journey to a Georgia Tech degree. Through generous support from donors, the program continues to aid talented Georgia students in achieving their academic goals.

Beyond financial support, the Tech Promise program also provides community and mentorship to help students thrive. Below are some resources to learn more about the program, eligibility, and the stories of current students and program alumni.
