Scholarship Review Process

The Scholarships360 Research Team reviews all scholarships individually and strives to exclude any scholarship where any of the below applies:

  • The scholarship requires a fee to apply
  • The scholarship provider’s privacy policy allows for the misuse of student data
  • The scholarship requires paid membership in an organization (with certain exceptions for reputable trade organizations and others)
  • Student are required to sign up for a site or service to apply*
  • The scholarship seems primarily used for lead generation** or idea harvesting purposes***
  • The scholarship website has many grammatical errors and/or advertisements
  • The scholarship or scholarship providing organization seem untrustworthy
  • There is no evidence the scholarship was previously awarded
  • The scholarship has not been awarded in the past 12 months
  • There is no available contact information

If you believe a scholarship has been published in error, please reach out to [email protected] and we’ll take a look!


* There are certain exceptions to this, for example if the sponsoring organization is a major corporation or nonprofit with its own scholarship application system.
** Lead generation scholarships will require students to sign up for an app or website and require minimal (if any) application requirements.
***Idea harvesting scholarships will require students to submit blog posts or other materials that companies may use for marketing purposes.

Consider in-state tuition and tuition reciprocity

In-state tuition costs are generally much lower than out-of-state tuition rates, which can save students thousands of dollars in tuition costs each year. Additionally, many universities and colleges reserve scholarships and financial aid for in-state Georgia students, which can help reduce the cost of attending college. 

Here are a few well-known Georgia universities and their in-state vs out-of-state tuition costs:

Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech)

  • In-state tuition: $10,258
  • Out-of-state tuition: $31,370

Georgia State University

  • In-state tuition: $4,474
  • Out-of-state tuition: $13,993

University of Georgia

  • In-state tuition: $12,080
  • Out-of-state tuition: $31,120

How do you get in-state tuition?

In order to establish residency in Georgia to qualify for in-state tuition, an individual must have maintained legal residence in the state for at least 12 consecutive months prior to enrollment. Additionally, the individual must demonstrate that they have a purpose for living in Georgia such as employment. This can be demonstrated through documentation such as driver’s licenses, voter registration and tax returns. 

However, it is important to note that residency rules can vary by college, and some universities may have additional requirements. Students who are unsure about their residency status should contact the admissions office of the university in order to obtain further information. 

Does Georgia have tuition reciprocity? 

Georgia is a member of two tuition reciprocity agreements known as the Academic Common Market (ACM) and the Southern Regional Education Board’s (SREB) Electronic Campus Regional Reciprocity Agreement. 

The Academic Common Market allows students to attend out-of-state public institutions while paying in-state tuition rates. The specific programs of study must not be available in their home state. 

The SREB’s Electronic Campus Regional Reciprocity Agreement allows students to take online courses from public institutions in other member states at in-state tuition rates.
