Financial Aid

At Georgetown, we offer graduate students two main types of financial aid: merit-based aid and need-based financial aid. You can also find opportunities for fellowships, scholarships and external funding from the Office of Graduate Fellowships & Awards.

All applicants to our program are eligible to be considered for merit or scholarship aid, which is based on your academic record. If you have a strong academic record, be sure to check the box for “Yes I want to be considered” when asked about merit aid on the application. If you submit your application by our priority deadline of January 15, you will maximize your chances of receiving merit aid. 

In order to also be eligible for financial aid, you’ll want to submit a FAFSA application. This is separate from the Georgetown graduate program application and provides access to Federal loan options. 

VA education benefits for this program has been approved. Please contact our Assistant Registrar for Veteran/Military Benefits at militarybenefits@georgetown.edu for more information.
