Scholarship overview

The Stamps President's Scholars Program is a merit-based scholarship programme at Georgia Tech that recruits promising students from across the nation and develops them as scholars, leaders and citizens through mentoring and enhanced educational opportunities. The four-year full-ride Stamps President's Scholarship is offered annually to the top one percent of first-year students. The programme was launched in 2006 with support from E. Roe Stamps, IV and the late Penny Stamps.
