Over 60 colleges and universities across Georgia will waive application fees for high school seniors throughout November as part of Apply to College Month. This initiative, led by the Georgia Student Finance Commission in collaboration with the University System of Georgia, the Technical College System of Georgia, and over a dozen private institutions, aims to make higher education more accessible by easing financial barriers in the application process.
Gov. Brian Kemp expressed his support, stating, “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.”
This is the fourth consecutive year the Georgia Student Finance Commission has promoted application fee waivers in November. The program allows students to apply to as many participating colleges as they wish, potentially saving hundreds of dollars. Additionally, students who apply through the Georgia Match direct admissions dashboard will have fees automatically waived.
High school seniors and families can find the list of participating schools and further details on application fee waivers on gafutures.org.
