Financial Information for International Students
Investing in Your Future
With outstanding new facilities, a rapidly rising academic profile, and an increasingly diverse learning community, UGA has soared into the ranks of the nation's most elite public universities. UGA is even ranked #10 on Princeton Review's list of the "25 Most Connected Campuses," second-highest among public universities nationwide. Yet a UGA education continues to be one of the most affordable in the country. That's why respected sources such as Money Magazine, Kiplinger's, and U.S. News & World Report agree that the University of Georgia is one of the best educational investments you can make. International students should review the first-year and transfer pages for more details on the merit scholarships available at UGA.
Please note that students who are studying in the United States on an F-1 (or similar) visa are not eligible for federal need-based aid.
