For the first time, Georgia high school students who want to attend Georgia Tech, the University of Georgia or Emory University can apply one time to all three.

The Coalition for Access, Affordability, and Success has added these schools to its list of member institutions that accept applications from its online platform.

Students can work on and store their essays there, along with artwork, videos, awards and other work.

While the platform is free, applicants must still pay the standard college application fee at each institution, though financial aid is available for qualifying students.
