No matter the major, studying abroad gives students the experience of a lifetime - academically, socially, and professionally.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnxious about finances? Students enrolled in a Georgia Tech study abroad program (including exchanges) may use their institutional financial aid for studying abroad, and most programs offer in-state tuition for all students. While there is an additional fee for non-residents ($250 for most study abroad programs and $2,500 for Georgia Tech Lorraine), the benefits and aggregated cost savings are clear. Another way to make study abroad affordable is to apply for a scholarship.
