The Stamps President's Scholars Program is Georgia Tech's premier and most prestigious merit-based scholarship. Recipients are selected from the top applicants for admission to Georgia Tech based on demonstrated excellence in scholarship, leadership, progress, and service as described on the Stamps President's Scholars Program web page. From the applicant pool, students selected as semifinalists interview online. The top semifinalists are named finalists and invited, with their parents, to campus for additional interviews and an information weekend in March or April.

Transfer students are not eligible for the four-year award. Recipients are US Citizens or Permanent Residents or international applicants with an established role working with a community-based organization or similar partnership with Georgia Tech.

Each year, 50 incoming first-year students receive the Stamps President's Scholarship, which is renewable for up to four academic years or eight semesters, contingent upon honors-level performance and continued leadership development as evidenced by involvement in program, campus, and community activities. Scholarships are "full ride," including tuition and mandatory fees, room and board, books, and personal expenses. See the website below for more information on stipends.

To ensure consideration, a student must apply as an incoming first-year student, and submit the Georgia Tech Application for First-Year Admission (through the Common Application), along with the application fee by the relevant early action deadline.
