Zell Miller Grant

The Zell Miller Grant Program provides grant assistance to residents of Georgia pursuing Certificates or Diplomas at Georgia’s public eligible postsecondary institutions. The Zell Miller Grant Program does not include a high school academic requirement, however, recipients are required to have a minimum postsecondary cumulative grade point average of 3.5 at the end of each term. The purpose of the Zell Miller Grant Program is to encourage Georgians to obtain technical education in order to increase the knowledge and skills of Georgia’s workforce. 

An eligible student seeking a Certificate or Diploma from a Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) or University System of Georgia (USG) institution may receive Zell Miller Grant funds as determined by Georgia Student Finance Commission (GSFC).

The Zell Miller Grant covers 100 percent of tuition at Georgia technical colleges. 

There are two options to apply for the Zell Miller Grant.  Students must complete the applicable FAFSA or the electronic GSFAPPS application.  It is strongly encouraged, however, that all students complete the FAFSA.
