Seed Grant Funding—Teams Grants

Forming Teams and Moving Teams Forward

Seed grants are small but important investments in research projects and teams at the earliest stages of development. These funds allow researchers to advance their teaming efforts and/or to obtain preliminary data demonstrating the potential viability of the work. Often, seed projects lead to extramural research opportunities and funding.

Tuition Waivers 

At Georgia Tech, we use the phrase “tuition waiver” for multiple scenarios.  Sometimes, we refer to a tuition waiver for the student, which means that the student is not paying his or her own tuition; rather, it is covered by other sources.  When this happens, it is actually “tuition remission.”  At other times, we use the phrase “tuition waiver” to indicate that Tech will never receive tuition for the student, from any source, and will have to find the funds to cover those costs internally.
