Georgia Tech: Can choosing a more expensive dorm affect how much aid my student receives?
DIRECT ANSWER
A more expensive room raises the family's actual bill, but it does not automatically produce a dollar-for-dollar increase in aid.
Georgia Tech calculates aid using its published cost-of-attendance methodology. Actual housing choice can differ from the standard budget, so a higher-priced room can increase out-of-pocket cost without guaranteeing more grant or loan eligibility. Students with special circumstances should ask Financial Aid for a budget review.
