Student Testimonials
"Being a Colonel Stephen C. Hall Dean's Scholar has only positively impacted my education and experience at Tech and in the Ivan Allen College. The scholarship events the Hall's host each semester have opened doors for me to meet IAC staff and actively see how much they care about the students. The knowledge and wisdom that I have gained from knowing Colonel and Mrs. Hall is unparalleled, and regardless of the size of my scholarship, I know the life lessons I have learned from them will follow me far beyond my undergraduate experience. Time and time again, all levels of IAC staff have paused their day to hear about my student experience and make sure they are taking the necessary steps to create the best student experience."

I love hearing how everyone is involved around campus and seeing people actively spark change. My scholarship has allowed me to have greater financial freedom to explore my educational opportunities at Georgia Tech, as well as connected me with like-minded, driven peers. I look forward to my future as an IAC scholar and cannot wait to thrive in my undergraduate education alongside my peers."
