Know Your Resources
Students attending Georgia Tech leverage a variety of public, private, and personal resources to pay for their education. Every student's experience is different. The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering encourages all students to fully utilize the resources available to them, many of them through the Institute:

Each week, the AE School issues an e-newsletter, The AErial View, that lists links for fellowships, scholarships, internships, and jobs that are highly relevant to AE students of all ranks. The newsletter will come to your Georgia Tech email in-box, so look for it and see what you are eligible to pursue. And if you miss an installment, visit the AErial View archives.

Graduate Teaching & Research Assistantships
A majority of Georgia Tech AE graduate students offset the cost of their education through graduate research assistantships (GRA), graduate teaching assistantships (GTA) or positions as academic graders (GA). These positions pay between $1,500/semester and $26,000 a year, and they can trigger a significant break in a student's tuition. The School does not guarantee placement in any of these positions and cannot restore funds for sponsored research assistantships, so it is important that grad students pursuing GRAs, GTAs and grading positions remain fully informed of their funding status from semester to semester.
