Veterans and Military at Georgetown
Georgetown honors its veteran and military-connected community by celebrating their stories and focusing on service and research related to their well-being.
A Community in Diversity
Military-connected students — veterans, reservists, active-duty and military spouses — bring a diverse range of experiences and backgrounds that enrich the Georgetown community.
A Testimonial

“I want to let other women veterans at Georgetown know that there is a space for us. We belong here. We’re not alone.”
A Testimonial

“Military-connected students embody the Spirit of Georgetown decisively. Today’s cohort of military-connected students is the most diverse in history. They are more likely to be students of color, first-generation, and hail from modest socioeconomic backgrounds. They hold a unique parallel with our founder, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, who was a student veteran before the term existed.”
Veterans Day Ceremony
President John J. DeGioia, the Georgetown University Student Veterans Association (GUSVA) and the Military & Veterans Resource Center sponsored a Veteran’s Day ceremony featuring Frank Kendall (L’04), secretary of the Air Force, Major Tahina L. Montoya (G’23), United States Air Force Reserves, and Oswaldo Pazmino (C’22), president of GUSVA.





United in Service to Others
Grounded in the university’s Jesuit ideal of being “people for others,” Georgetown students find community and purpose through the Georgetown University Student Veterans Association (GUSVA), which received the Student Veterans of America “Chapter of the Year” award in 2021.
Hoya Battalion
The Hoya Battalion, Georgetown University’s Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) Program, is steeped in a rich and enviable history that dates back to the birth of both the University and the United States of America.
Scholarships for Veterans and Military-Connected Students
The Craig Newmark Veterans Scholarship Fund will support scholarships, experiential learning opportunities and community programs in support of military-connected students at the McCourt School of Public Policy.
