Presidential Tuition Waivers

Presidential Tuition Waivers (PTW) are competitively awarded to out-of-state and international students based on academic performance and/or test scores. All admitted out-of-state and international students who are legally present in the US will be considered (no separate application is required) and the qualifications of recipients will depend on the competitiveness of the pool.

Recipients may be awarded a half PTW, which allows students to pay tuition at the in-state tuition rate plus half the out-of-state rate, or a full PTW, which allows recipients to pay tuition at the in-state rate, for up to nine semesters if renewal criteria are met.

This results in a savings of $25,000 to $50,000 over four years.

Honors Program Presidential Scholars

The Choate Family Presidential Scholarship and the William P. Roberts Presidential Scholarship are awarded competitively to the most academically qualified incoming freshmen on the Dahlonega camps. Scholars receive up to $1,000 per year, renewable for up to four years of study, depending on degree track. The Russell Scholarship is available to a student on the Gainesville or Oconee campus only.
