Specific Fellowships

From the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Education's page on Fellowships and Funding:

Georgia Tech awards and coordinates numerous student fellowships – varying in value from a few hundred dollars that may be awarded on top of other funding such as an assistantship, to full fellowships that cover tuition, fees and pay a stipend.

Institute-level fellowships are managed by the Office of Graduate Education and paid via the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid and the Office of the Bursar. Most fellowships are awarded and nominated internally by schools, not by Graduate Education nor the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.

There are also many school-level fellowships which are handled separately by individual academic departments. We've gathered the ones most relevant to cybersecurity and privacy graduate students.

These fellowships are not directly managed by the School of Cybersecurity and Privacy
