Students with a payment restriction hold are not eligible to enroll in the payment plan. However, they may appeal this by submitting the Payment Restriction Hold Appeal form.

Financial aid

The University of Georgia offers various financial aid options to its students. Financial aid refers to funding that students can use to pay for college and is generally awarded based on need or merit. Need-based aid takes into account the financial status of the student or their family, as calculated by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The average need-based scholarship or grant awarded to first-year students at the University of Georgia is $11,850. Additionally, 34% of first-year students received need-based financial aid in fall 2022, with the average need-based self-help aid awarded being $3,584. This includes federal loans and work-study programs.

Merit-based aid, also known as non-need-based aid, is awarded for specific talents or academic achievements. The average non-need-based scholarship or grant awarded to first-year students, excluding athletic scholarships, is $3,117. Scholarships are a type of funding that does not need to be paid back. Need-based scholarships consider the student's financial situation, while merit-based scholarships are awarded for academic or athletic achievement. Students might also qualify for scholarships based on community service involvement, unique hobbies or traits, personal background, or a parent's employer or military affiliation. In some cases, scholarship money can cover tuition and living expenses.

The University of Georgia also offers a Cost Calculator on its website, which provides an estimate of the total cost of attendance, including tuition, books, room, and board. This tool can help students and their families plan and manage their finances effectively. Additionally, the Scholarship Resource Center at Georgia State, established in 2011, provides guidance and support to students seeking financial assistance. It promotes scholarship opportunities throughout the year and is open to all students, regardless of their financial aid eligibility status. Perimeter College offers merit-based, need-based, and service-based scholarships, which are subject to the availability of funds.

Students can also consider external scholarship opportunities by using search filters that allow them to search by student type, Georgia State category, external category, major, or keyword. Working while studying can also help lessen the burden of student loans. The University of West Georgia, for example, offers a diverse range of programs and is committed to helping students and their families manage their finances by providing information on billing, payment of fees and tuition, refunds, and more.

Tuition fees

The University of Georgia offers various payment methods for tuition fees. Students can pay their tuition fees online through their student accounts. This can be done through electronic check or credit/debit card. A convenience fee of 2.95% or a minimum of $3 is charged for credit/debit card payments, while electronic checks are free of charge.

Students can also pay in person at any campus cashier window using a check, money order, or cashier's check. Additionally, the University accepts payments through Flywire, which covers the student account balance, with any remaining funds returned to the sender.

The University provides financial assistance through scholarships, grants, and tuition waivers. Need-based scholarships consider a student's financial status, while merit-based scholarships are awarded for academic, athletic, or community service achievements. The average need-based scholarship or grant for first-year students is $11,850. Graduate students may also be eligible for tuition waivers if they are hired as research or teaching assistants.

For students facing financial difficulties, the Georgia State Payment Plan allows for the deferment of payment for up to 50% of the current term's tuition fees or their account balance, whichever is less. Additionally, certain students may qualify for tuition waivers, including employees of Georgia-based corporations with contracts through the Board of Regents, participants in international or domestic exchange programs, and military personnel or their dependents.
