The Gwinnett Tech Foundation plays an important role in alleviating barriers to a student’s ability to complete their education. To date, the Gwinnett Tech Foundation has invested over $43 million in student and program support, with $5.5 million utilized for scholarships and tuition assistance. Nearly 10,000 students have been served through the Foundation’s programs and services. We are committed to removing barriers to higher education by providing scholarships and other assistance to students who face financial hardships so they can successfully complete their course of study.

“I would like to thank the founders, organizers, board members, donors and all who are involved in this this wonderful foundation.  This gracious donation will greatly assist me in achieving my goal of successfully becoming a nurse.  My desire to help others have always been there due to the great philanthropic efforts of the wonderful donors I am now on my way to achieve my goal.“

Scholarships

Apply for scholarships

Gwinnett Technical College provides scholarships to our students with support from our Foundation and charitable donors. Scholarships are a form of Financial Aid that do not have to be repaid. Gwinnett Tech scholarships are awarded to students who meet the specific requirements; eligibility is not always based on financial need.

Scholarship funds may be used for any educational expense. This can include tuition, books, and supplies.
Please note: If a student receives funds through the Workforce Opportunity Investment Act (WOIA) and is awarded a scholarship, additional funding may reduce the amount of WOIA funds available to the student.

Scholarship Application Deadlines:

  • Fall Semester: March 1 – April 8
  • Spring Semester: September 1 – September 30

Scholarship applications are submitted and accepted through the Foundation. If you have been awarded a Gwinnett Tech Scholarship, you will be notified of the status through your student email account. Students may also check the status of their application at Gwinnetttech.AcademicWorks.

Gwinnett Tech students can apply online for Gwinnett Tech Foundation scholarships by visiting Gwinnetttech.AcademicWorks and completing the electronic application. Based on the information you provide in your application, the system will be able to identify and suggest specific scholarships that match your needs.

Please note that applying for a scholarship does not guarantee that you will receive one. It is a competitive process, so be certain to complete the application thoroughly, check for spelling and grammatical errors, and thoughtfully answer the essay questions.
