Ensuring our student community thrives

access & excellence

We want the world’s best students from all backgrounds to choose Georgetown and participate fully in their college experience, contributing their ambition and talents to our campus community. Our Jesuit tradition of cura personalis, care of the whole person, calls us to make that possible.

Every student brings a different constellation of financial, academic, spiritual, mental, physical, and professional needs. Meeting those needs—through scholarships and support across all dimensions of learning and formation—strengthens our university and gives the world its strongest citizens and creative thinkers.

“Georgetown’s Jesuit value of people for others inspires me to make sure that I make the most of my time here and graduate with all the tools I need to be a person for others. As I get a better idea of my career goals and what I would like to accomplish in the future, I am constantly wondering how whatever path I choose will help my community.”

—Safa Wardere (C’25), scholarship recipient, first-generation college student, and participant and mentor in the Georgetown Scholars Program, which provides robust wraparound services and resources for low-income and first-generation college students

Increasing the number of philanthropically funded undergraduate scholarships is the university’s foremost fundraising priority. Scholarships help ensure that every student we choose can choose Georgetown, too, and donor support for financial aid enables us to compete with the best universities for the best talent.

We will create an environment where every student can flourish.

    Director of Georgetown’s Center for Multicultural Equity and Access, home to the Community Scholars Program

    “The Community Scholars Program helps first generation, low-income students establish community and increase their social capital and confidence so they can thrive in a highly competitive, predominantly white, affluent, elite atmosphere. The program has really elevated the university as a national elite institution dedicated to community and diversity.”

    Veteran and first-generation student

    “My time in the military taught me many things, but above all, professionalism, resilience, and confidence. It can be nerve-racking to start a brand new experience, especially when the military is so ordered and the path is preordained, but in the uncomfortable is where we grow.” Georgetown University is a proud participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program in partnership with the Department of Veteran Affairs to enhance access and affordability for military-connected students

    Chaplain to Georgetown Athletics

    “My role is to accompany student-athletes, coaches, and staff in support of their ongoing spiritual growth and formation. That means meeting [them] where they are. I celebrate the joys they’re experiencing in their sports and in their lives. I walk with them, particularly as a listener when they experience challenges.”
