Get Support: Access and Affordability at Georgetown

The Main Campus Office of Student Financial Services (OSFS), the School of Medicine’s Office of Admissions and Financial Aid and Georgetown Law’s Office of Financial Aid accept requests for both consideration and reconsideration of financial aid throughout the academic year. If your financial circumstances have changed, whether through the recent unemployment of a family member, increased health care costs or other challenges, you may be eligible for a financial aid adjustment through student lending programs.

Access for All

We believe it’s important to sustain a truly diverse community. That’s why we commit to meet the financial need of every admitted undergraduate student. We don’t consider your ability to pay when we review your application, and we don’t base our decision on whether you can cover the cost. If you’re accepted here, you belong here.

Access and Affordability

Undergraduate admissions decisions are made without consideration of a student’s ability to afford the cost of attendance. No student is denied admissions based on their personal financial situation. In addition, Georgetown meets the full demonstrated financial need of admitted U.S. undergraduates.

Our identity as one of the world’s great universities is inextricably tied to our ability to ensure that the best and brightest students — from a broad range of backgrounds — are able to become a part of our Georgetown community.”

— Georgetown President John J. DeGioia

Cura Personalis

One of the core Jesuit values that animates the Georgetown experience is cura personalis, or a profound care for the whole person and their unique circumstances, gifts and possibilities. Recent alumnus Andy Marquez (SFS’21), a member of the Georgetown Scholars Program and Community Scholars Program, embodies cura personalis both in his community in Los Angeles and on the Hilltop.
