Notice Concerning the GA Tuition Equalization Grant (GTEG) starting January 2010:

We have received notification from Georgia Student Finance Commission that the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant, GTEG, will be reduced from $475 to $300 per disbursement beginning January 2010. This change was made as a direct result of declining state revenue. We understand that this $175 reduction in funding may pose a budgeting challenge for you and wanted to give you as much advance warning as possible to make alternative payment arrangements. Please feel free to contact your financial aid representative if you have any questions. For more information, click here>

Quick Links


You must reapply each year for Financial Aid. When filling out the FAFSA :

  • Ensure that your name on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) matches the name on your Social Security card.
  • Leave no questions unanswered.

Timing is Important

The financial aid process is a very time-oriented process. If you need financial aid in order to attend one of the degree programs at Shorter, you will need to complete the entire financial aid process first.

You must be declared "financially ready" before you can be placed on a roster to start your classes. In order to be determined eligible for federal aid, you must submit all the required documents and any further documents the Office of Financial Aid requests from you in a timely manner.
