Established on 23 January, 1789. It is the nation’s oldest Catholic and Jesuit university. Georgetown has evolved into a prominent global research institution comprising nine schools, an affiliated hospital, and numerous top-ranked academic programs. Presently, the university accommodates over 22,000 undergraduate and graduate students across five distinct locations: Main Campus, Medical Center, Law Center, School of Continuing Studies, and the Georgetown Qatar campus. Our mission at Georgetown University is to enable every accepted applicant to afford attendance, thereby ensuring the recruitment, retention, and graduation of a diverse and talented learning community. 

Financial aid opportunities for international students at Georgetown are notably limited. To be eligible for these awards, you must express your interest during the undergraduate admission process and complete the CSS PROFILE. If you don’t secure a scholarship in your first year, future opportunities are unlikely, so financial planning is crucial. For those who receive aid initially, annual reapplication is necessary, with evaluations based on updated financial information. Private education loans may be an option, typically requiring a creditworthy U.S. Citizen or Eligible Non-Citizen co-signer. It’s important to note that receiving financial aid may subject you to U.S. taxation.
