Scholarships are awarded to students meeting the specific requirements of each scholarship foundation. Scholarships do not need to be repaid, and eligibility may or may not be dependent on financial need.
Gwinnett Tech offers scholarships through three sources: the Gwinnett Tech Foundation, various business- and civic-sponsored scholarships and through the Georgia HOPE scholarship.
