Georgia Tech Student Foundation
The Georgia Tech Student Foundation represents an organization founded on the beliefs of supporting fellow students and promoting the enhancement of the Georgia Tech community. Through the development and investment of an endowment, GTSF is able to allocate towards events and student initiatives by students and student organizations.
Since the establishment of this endowment by a $100,000 grant from alumnus, J. Erskine Love Jr., the GTSF endowment has grown to almost $800,000. Student members have worked hard over the years to be able to allocate funds to student groups all over campus for a variety of great ideas and financial needs. Today, GTSF has contributed to approximately 270 student organizations, many of which were new organizations on campus.
Through the years, we have had many successes including being honored by national awards, winning many campus awards, and being featured in the May 28, 1997 issue of Wall Street Journal as well as on CNBC. The Student Foundation is growing, not only in monetary value, but also in the strength of its membership with the addition of Freshman Foundation.
The Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the overseeing body of the organization that manages the 3 committees of Student Foundation including the Freshman Foundation. The Board is made up of 20 leaders from many different parts of campus and will act as mentors to the freshman members throughout the year.
