Stamps President's Scholars Program

Application Process

High school seniors who apply for admission to Georgia Tech by the Early Action deadline each year will be automatically considered for the Stamps President’s Scholars Program. From the pool of admitted students, between 425 and 450 will be selected as semifinalists for the Stamps President’s and Gold Scholarships. The semifinalist pool will participate in a virtual, asynchronous interview to evaluate program fit.

Around 150 finalists will be named in February and invited to participate in Stamps Scholars Weekend in March for additional activities and interviews. Those finalists who choose to attend Georgia Tech the next fall will join the Office of Scholar Programs community as either a Stamps President’s Scholar or a Gold Scholar.

Selection of Major

Students wishing to compete for a Stamps President’s or Gold Scholarship must do so with the primary major they listed in their application for undergraduate admission and may not confirm a different major after deposit. Furthermore, any student awarded either scholarship may not change their major until the last day of the Spring term of their first year, e.g., a student enrolling in the fall 2027 may not change their major until May 2028.

Confirming or changing to a different major before the end of the first year will result in revocation of the scholarship offer and/or award. For that reason, we recommend that students who wish to remain in consideration for Stamps President's and Gold Scholarship wait to confirm their major until they know their status in that selection process.
