<p>I am trying to fill out GA tech's own financial aid application. I've copied and pasted the third "question" below. There are check-boxes for each of the types of aid listed and it asks you to check which ones you are requesting. I feel really ignorant, but we just want to apply for whatever may be available that my son may be eligible for. Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks.</p>
