Diversity and Access

Georgetown actively seeks out and recruits highly talented, motivated students from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds. Throughout the year, we conduct recruitment events in all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico & U.S. Virgin Islands. So whether you hail from a small rural community or a major metropolitan area – or somewhere in between, we invite prospective applicants to learn more about Georgetown’s dynamic, diverse and talented community of students.

Undocumented Students

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions welcomes applications from interested students across the country and the world. All candidates for admission should submit the Georgetown Application and additional required application forms, regardless of country of citizenship, immigration status, where the student resides or attends high school.

Please note that all information provided on the application is confidential. Therefore, undocumented students should feel comfortable providing as much information as possible on the application forms. Immigration status does not have an impact on the admissions process.

Georgetown University meets the full financial need of all eligible undergraduate students and a student’s need for financial assistance does not negatively impact their chances of admissions. In fact, Georgetown nearly doubled the number of incoming students with exceptional financial need – through eligibility for the Pell grant – in the 2024-2025 school year. To learn more about the financial aid process, required forms, and deadlines, please consult the Office of Student Financial Services website.

To learn more about Georgetown’s commitment to Undocumented Students (both prospective applicants and current students), please visit Georgetown’s Undocumented Students website.

In the event you, your parents, or college counselor have any questions about the admissions process, please contact our office at 202-687-3600 and speak to one of our admissions officers. Alternatively, you may submit your question(s) by email to Mr. Jaime Briseño at brisenoj@georgetown.edu

LGBTQIA+ Students

Georgetown University welcomes all interested students to apply. Please note all information provided on the application is confidential, including sexual orientation and gender identity and expression. You will have the option to provide your preferred name when you submit the Georgetown Application. Keep in mind that your preferred name will be used on all communication you receive from the Office of Admissions, which may include emails, mailed letters, and phone calls/voicemails.

Georgetown University LGBTQ Resource Center is the first of its kind at a Catholic/Jesuit institution in the country. Explore the LGBTQ Resource Center’s website to see events for LGBTQIA+ students such as Lavender Graduation and OUTober2020, in addition to the Trans, Non-Binary, and Gender Non-Conforming Resource Guide, which has information on housing, all-gender bathrooms, mental health campus resources and more!
