UGA
Merit aid offeredPublished award: Standard percentage of in-state tuition (state-set rate; cannot exceed total tuition charges for the semester)
Important: Out-of-state students applying to UGA without targeting Foundation Fellowship
See cost notes and sources
Listed yearly cost before aid: about $51,952
Who this may suit: Two distinct profiles. (1) Georgia residents who qualify for HOPE (3.00 HOPE GPA) or Zell Miller (3.30 Zell Miller GPA + state-defined HS criteria); these state-funded awards effectively zero out tuition for in-state students. (2) High-achieving applicants nationally targeting the Foundation Fellowship (Nov 1 deadline). Out-of-state Foundation Fellows receive a $25,900/yr stipend PLUS a $19,040/yr Presidential waiver, which is one of the strongest OOS merit packages at any U.S. public flagship for those who clear the bar.
