Patrick Healy Endowed Scholarship

“The Patrick Healy Scholarship was an integral part of my Georgetown journey. It provided funds that my family and I were in need of. That provision lifted the burden of financial anxiety and allowed me to focus on my studies. Most importantly, the scholarship provided a second family which I cherish to this day. I gained mentors who encouraged me and expanded my vision of what I can achieve. I am on my way to becoming a double Hoya and I am eternally grateful for the role that my Patrick Healy family continues to play in my life.”

“Receiving the Patrick Healy Scholarship happened at a time when I needed to feel like I belonged at Georgetown, something that comes up often for Black students on campus. Of course, the financial support of the scholarship was crucial; however, finding fellowship with past recipients, alumni, and faculty who look like me at the dinners and beyond was most affirming. There is no lack of talent, care, brilliance, or passion in our community. Continuing to fully support and create opportunities for all students to thrive at Georgetown, regardless of circumstance, is a must, so I’m grateful for the advisory board doing part of the necessary work through this scholarship.”
