An Introduction to Financial Planning

We are committed to helping students explore avenues for financial aid through scholarships, grants, loans and work-study programs.

Over 95% of Georgetown students receive some financial aid, with a total of $22 million in scholarships and aid administered annually by the college.

Our financial assistance programs include both merit scholarships (which are based on academic performance, leadership, athletics, etc.) as well as need-based grants.

We work diligently to balance the priorities of recognizing students for achievement and helping students with financial need. We encourage you to look through our web site and review the different programs and application instructions; please contact us with any questions.
