<p>I'm considering transferring here but the OOS costs are pretty high. Anyway to get it down some besides scholarships? The site says $11,110 a semester[for 08-09] if i'm reading it correctly. Thats a lot of debt after its over! Even for a transfer student who probably needs 2.5-3years of classes. Do engineers from this school make more then average to offset the high OOS costs? Thanks!</p>
<p>The only way I know of is if you are in Nuclear Engineering, there is a program called Academic Common Market where if your home state is in the southeast and no public schools offer Nuclear Engineering then you can pay instate tuition at GT if you have above a 2.8 GPA or something like that.</p>
<p>There might be others. ACM might apply to other majors as well, I'm not sure.</p>
<p>I only knew about it for NE because thats what I'm in.</p>
<p>I get a pretty substantial grant from GT that they call an "out of state" grant. Common market is a good way too, but you have to keep up the gpa.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. I was thinking of doing Electrical or Mech engineering. We have those programs in my state but GA Tech's are frankly much stronger imo. So it doesn't look like i would qualify for the common market :(</p>
<p>Mr. Bojangles was your grant difficult to get? That OOS grant sounds really nice!</p>
<p>I didn't even apply for it actually, it's something they just give. I'm not particularly sure if they give it to every out-of-state student or if you have to be under a certain income level...something to check up on though</p>
<p>can you elaborate on this grant? I've been in contact with some higher ups at both the financial aid department and the person who takes care of classification and oos waivers and neither of them had heard of the out of state grant. Could you look at your records and try to give me a little more information so that I can point them in the right direction? I really want to go, I just can't afford 26k.</p>
<p>I'll be a freshman this upcoming fall, and I got a pretty decent scholarship I suppose. Cuts my tuition in half basically.</p>
<p>Do you know the name of that scholarship? Even cutting my tuition in half would make tech affordable.</p>
