Financial Aid

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.

Since financial aid at Georgetown is based on need, we do not offer academic or merit based scholarships. We meet the full financial need of eligible students through a combination of aid programs that include grants, scholarships, employment and loans from federal, state, private, and University resources. To receive consideration for financial aid, students must complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and the CSS Profile (College Scholarship Service).

Please complete both the FAFSA and CSS Profile by February 1. Questions about completing these forms should be directed to the Office of Student Financial Services.

International Students

Admitted students who have requested financial aid and are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents will be considered for a very limited number of need-based scholarships. To be considered for one of these scholarships, the student/applicant will need to indicate their intent to apply for financial aid on the Application for Undergraduate Admission and should submit a CSS/Financial Aid Profile online. For further details, please see the Office of Student Financial Services website.
