Global engagement is essential to Georgia Tech's aspirations to define the technological research university of the 21st century.
We must be recognized for graduating students who are good global citizens, who will be leaders capable of collaborating across geopolitical, cultural, and linguistic boundaries as they design solutions for the challenges of this century.
Support for scholarships, endowed chairs and professorships, and program enrichment will enable Georgia Tech to expand its global footprint.
With your support, we can enhance these areas:

Students' International Experiences
Georgia Tech is committed to enriching students' learning experiences and increasing their competitiveness in the global marketplace.
Each year, nearly 1,500 students participate in 120 study abroad programs that Georgia Tech offers. Learning, working, and living in a foreign country provides them with distinct career advantages by preparing them to navigate an increasingly global marketplace, and it also broadens their view of the world, inspires their interest in other cultures, and enriches their lives.
The International Plan
The International Plan is a four-year academic program designed to develop the global competence of students within the context of their majors. The program requires students to engage in a minimum of 26 weeks of international experience, to develop proficiency in a language other than English, and to take internationally-oriented coursework — preparing them for success in a diverse global work environment.
