What scholarships does Georgetown University offer for international students?

I'm trying to figure out what kind of financial aid or scholarships Georgetown University offers to international students. Does anyone know if they have specific scholarships or any tips on how to get them?

Georgetown University offers a number of scholarships, but the primary form of financial support for international students is need-based financial aid. Georgetown meets the full demonstrated need for all admitted students, domestic and international. This means that if you're admitted and you've demonstrated financial need through the CSS Profile, Georgetown will grant an aid package intended to meet this need.

However, keep in mind that the competition for these resources is intense, especially for international students. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that your application stands out in terms of academic achievement, personal qualities, and extracurricular engagement.

Note that Georgetown financial aid is not a merit scholarship - it doesn't award any scholarships based on merit. All financial aid is need-based and determined upon admission. Also, because it’s need-based, your financial need is reevaluated every year when you reapply for financial aid, and your financial aid package can change based on changes in your household's financial situation.

To maximize your potential for receiving financial aid, you should be thorough and accurate when completing your CSS Profile which is required for international student aid assessment at Georgetown. Deadlines for these financial aid applications typically align with Georgetown's Regular Decision application deadline in early January, but it's always helpful to check the official Georgetown financial aid page for the most accurate and recent information.

Finally, although Georgetown does offer institutional aid, I would also recommend looking for external scholarships for which you may be eligible. Through resources like Appily or your own research, you could potentially find additional financial resources to mitigate your tuition costs.
