The Georgia Tech Gold Scholarship is offered annually to the top two percent of high school seniors from across the United States who enroll at Georgia Tech. Selected scholars demonstrate academic excellence, a strong moral compass, and a desire to have a remarkable impact on technology and society through collaborative endeavors.

To ensure consideration for both the Gold Scholars Program (part of the Stamps President’s Scholarship), potential first-year students must apply for admission to Georgia Tech by the early action deadline. There is no additional application used to determine Stamps Scholar/Gold Scholar semifinalists.

Transfer applicants are not eligible; applicants must also be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or the United Kingdom to be considered. Citizens of the Republic of Ireland may be considered as well.
