The Georgia Student Finance Commission (GSFC) has partnered with the University System of Georgia (USG), the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG), and private institutions to provide application fee waivers to Georgia high school seniors in March to more than 60 Georgia colleges and universities.
“We want every Georgia student to know there is a path to a great future here in their home state,” said Governor Brian Kemp. “By giving students the opportunity to apply to college without paying application fees, we’re making it even easier for students to find their MATCH and launch successful careers in the best state to live, work, and raise a family.”
This is the 9th time the Georgia Student Finance Commission has promoted application fee waivers since the initiative started in 2022. There is no limit on the number of schools a student may apply to using the application fee waivers. While application fees may vary by institution, the cost savings to high school seniors applying to multiple colleges are significant.
Students can apply to state institutions through GEORGIA MATCH on the GAfutures.org portal and directly at the participating independent colleges.
“Georgia high school seniors should go to GAfutures.org and take advantage of having their application fees waived,” said Georgia Student Finance Commission President Chris Green. “This allows families to save money in the college admissions process. Whether its free college applications or over $1 billion in HOPE scholarships and other state financial aid programs, the state’s investment has made Georgia the Top State for Talent.”
Students who claim their spot at a college or university through the GEORGIA MATCH dashboard will automatically have their application fees waived. The full list of participating schools and information on how to access the application fee waivers may be found at GAfutures.org.
The mission of the Georgia Student Finance Commission is to help students pursue higher education with the least out-of-pocket costs possible. Students interested in learning more about application fee waivers, GEORGIA MATCH, scholarships, and grants may connect with their regional GSFC Outreach Representative by visiting GAfutures.org/Outreach.
