Stamps President's Scholars Program (Georgia Tech)

The Stamps President's Scholars Program is Georgia Tech's most prestigious scholarship, established in 2006 with support from the Stamps Family Charitable Foundation. It covers tuition, mandatory fees, housing, a meal plan, books and academic supplies, and personal expenses for four years, plus $12,000 over four years toward study abroad, unpaid internships, research, or conferences, an outdoor leadership trip freshman year, and a $1,100 first-year laptop stipend. Every applicant who applies for admission to Georgia Tech by the Early Action deadline is automatically considered — there's no separate scholarship application or additional materials. About 43,000 seniors apply each year; 425-450 semifinalists complete an asynchronous virtual interview, and roughly 150 finalists are invited to an on-campus Scholars Weekend, where they compete for either the Stamps President's Scholarship or Georgia Tech's Gold Scholarship. Admitted Stamps Scholars' SAT/ACT middle-50% typically runs 1470-1560 / 32-35, though there's no published minimum, and scholars must keep their declared major through at least the end of freshman spring term to retain the award.
