Georgia Tech has a long tradition of helping those in need and has made it part of its mission to develop cross-culturally, globally-minded leaders who improve the human condition. As global humanitarian crises arise, the Institute leverages its resources and contacts in support of international students, faculty, staff, and alums who are most affected.

Support for Ukraine
We are asking our community to step up, as it always does, to ensure that the students who are already members of the Tech community can complete their studies and that we can help displaced scholars. We estimate an urgent need of between $3 and $4 million in current, expendable funds, which will be administered through the Office of International Education.
