Dear Undergraduate Students,
Each year, we provide an update on tuition, room and board rates for the upcoming academic year (in this case, Academic Year 2026-2027) in order to help students and families plan ahead.
For the next academic year, the undergraduate tuition rate will be $74,520, an increase of 4.75% from the current year. When room and board costs are also considered, the total cost of attendance will increase by approximately 4.6% over the prior year’s rates for first-year and returning students.
For the academic year 2025-2026, the university anticipates dedicating a record $278 million to financial aid for undergraduate and graduate students. We will continue to increase our institutional support for financial aid.
The tuition rate reflects a balanced approach to managing rising costs, as well as providing the resources needed for academic and student priorities, efforts that expand the value and reach of a Georgetown education, and our commitment to minimizing additional fees.
We are deeply committed to ensuring that all eligible undergraduate students and their families can afford the cost of a Georgetown education. The university will continue to consider adjustments to financial aid packages when alerted to new family circumstances and to recruit students regardless of their ability to pay.
You can find more information on the following pages:

Please feel free to share this information with your families. We are grateful for the significant investment that you and your families are making in a Georgetown University education, and for your many contributions to our campus community and Catholic, Jesuit educational mission.
Sincerely,
Soyica Diggs Colbert
Interim Provost
