Pre-Paid Tuition Plans
A Pre-Paid Tuition Plan is an account where the Parent has deposited funds into a savings account managed by a state agency until the student graduates from high school in each state. Georgia Institute of Technology does not bill for these payment plans. Tuition invoices are available to all students on BuzzPort by clicking on the Registration - OSCAR link. Next, click on Student Services & Financial Aid. Then, click on Registration. Next, click on Student Invoice Statement And Web Payment Options. You should contact your plan provider to determine their requirements for individual billing.
The following states have restrictions on which charges each plan will cover:
Florida offers two plans Restricted and Unrestricted Tuition and Dorm. Restricted Tuition and Dorm will pay for a certain amount of hours each term and housing only. Unrestricted Tuition and Dorm – the amount paid by the plan is determined by the request of the Parent for each semester. In August an increase is typically issued for Florida Plan students, which increases the amount available to use each semester. Plans in other states Alabama, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas will cover Tuition and Mandatory Fee charges only. Contact Darren Smith (404) 894-4619 or darren.smith@business.gatech.edu with questions regarding Pre-Paid Plans.
