OOS with EFC of zero?

Colleges & Universities Georgia Institute of Technology

<p>I’m also facing the dreaded OOS costs at GT vs solid offers from other OOS schools and U of MD, College Park, in my state. I also don’t want to go my state school. I will if I have to, but not even near the top of my list. I’ve worked hard to get admitted to GT and want to figure out a way to go.</p>

<p>This is what I’m planning to do to be able to go to GT.

  1. Now that apps are done for everywhere, I’m applying for every scholarship so I can to bring down potential loan debt.<br>
  2. I’m planning on doing Co-op, hopefully near my home so I can just bank money with the experience. GTs extensive Co-op is one of the many things that drew me to GT.
  3. Thinking of potentially doing a semester study abroad in France, since GT OOS pay in state tuition(another GT+). I wonder about other costs though - flight, housing, travel but still think it is less than OOS in US. I’ll apply for scholarships to help some too.
  4. Praying that I get some GT scholarships and/or Aid to bring down costs.
  5. Maybe be RA later to reduce housing costs
  6. Summer trying to get paid job instead of unpaid Intern like last summer</p>

<p>Anyone have other ideas? Sound feasible/reasonable… (I can’t do ROTC, but would if I could)</p>
