SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) - Georgia college applications will be waived in November according to the Georgia Student Finance Commission (GSFC).
The GSFC has announced that over 60 Georgia colleges and universities will waive their application fees for high school seniors who apply between Nov. 1 and Nov. 30. as a part of Apply to College Month.
The Commission partnered with the University System of Georgia (USG), the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG), and over a dozen private colleges and universities to provide application fee waivers to Georgia high school seniors.
“We want all of Georgia’s students to know there is a place for them at one of our institutions of higher education next fall,” said Governor Kemp. “That’s why we’re excited that this Apply to College Month, schools from USG, TCSG, and private institutions are waiving application fees to make it easier for students and their families to navigate the application process and find their match. Thank you to our team at GSFC for all they do on this, GEORGIA MATCH, and other initiatives to help connect the next generation of Georgians with opportunities for success.”
This marks the 4th year GSFC has done application fee waivers in November. There is no limit on the number of schools a student may apply to using the application fee waivers.
“There has never been a better time to apply to college in Georgia,” said Georgia Student Finance Commission President Lynne Riley. “Georgia is unique in that we offer direct admissions through GEORGIA MATCH, tuition funding through the HOPE Scholarship and Grant, and we offer application fee waivers in March and November.”
Students who apply through the GEORGIA MATCH direct admissions dashboard in November will automatically have their application fees waived. The full list of participating schools and information on how to access the application fee waivers may be found at this link.
