Tuition & Aid
At the School of Foreign Service, we are committed to providing students of all backgrounds the opportunity to study international affairs.
More than 50% of our graduate students receive financial support from Georgetown University to assist with the cost of attendance. You can also utilize external funding opportunities from private foundations, government fellowships and loans to cover the cost of your education.

Undergraduate financing
Financial aid helps make a Georgetown education possible and is a key component of the University’s Jesuit, Catholic mission. It ensures that students are admitted without regard to ability to pay, can afford to attend the university and fosters a socio-economically diverse student body where enrollment is based on academic talent.
The Office of Student Financial Aid will assist you in financing your entire Hoya experience. We work closely with students and parents each year to ensure we meet your full demonstrated financial need.
