Founded in 1789, the same year the U.S. Constitution took effect, Georgetown University is the nation's oldest Catholic and Jesuit university. Today, Georgetown is a major international research university that embodies its founding principles in the diversity of our students, faculty, and staff, our commitment to justice and the common good, our intellectual openness, and our international character.

Finance and Scholarships

A limited number of awards based on academic qualifications, without regard to citizenship or residence status, are available each year to students in the Graduate School's various departments and programs. New applicants to programs in the arts and sciences who wish to be considered for merit-based assistantship, scholarship, and fellowship awards need only check the appropriate box on the application for admission. Applicants should carefully note the application deadlines specified in the Admission Summary Chart for the individual department or program. If a department or program has an earlier scholarship or fellowship deadline, it is imperative that an applicant meet this early deadline in order to be considered for scholarships, fellowships and assistantships.

Assistantships and fellowships normally include a stipend and a full tuition scholarship. For 2006-2007, stipends for doctoral arts and sciences programs are $17,510, while stipends for master's students in the arts and sciences range from $1,100 to $16,000. Only full-time students pursuing the Ph.D. will be considered for assistantship and fellowship awards.

Georgetown University Law Center Global Health Law Scholars . 5 available @ USD 0

Beginning in 2007-08, the Global Health Law Program will offer up to five prestigious Global Health Law Scholars per academic year. Global Health Law Scholars, in addition to the title, will receive full or partial tuition awards. These awards may be sponsored by Georgetown Law and/or major outside organizations in law and health, and may be coupled with internship opportunities. Applicants will be selected by a committee on the basis of their (1) academic qualifications in the fields of law/ethics and public health, health policy, health economics, bioethics, or other relevant disciplines; (2) public or private sector work experience on global or domestic health law issues; and (3) demonstrated potential for excellence within the field of global health law. Students' financial needs may also be considered.

Georgetown University Law Center Graduate Fellowship Program for Future Law Professors . 1 available @ USD 54,000

Law teaching has always been one of the most challenging and highly sought after careers in the legal profession. The traditional routes for entry into law teaching have been available only to a select number of graduates. In 1989 Georgetown University Law Center created a graduate fellowship to expand the avenues available to talented law school graduates who aspire to become law professors. We hope to attract candidates who can bring a variety of perspectives to the development of legal scholarship and increase the diversity of the law teaching profession. Foreign-trained lawyers are not eligible to apply to the Future Law Professors Program.

The Law Center offers one graduate fellowship each year to a recent graduate or practicing lawyer. We are seeking applicants who have demonstrated an outstanding aptitude for independent legal research, through prior research as a law student or legal experience after law school. Applicants must hold a JD degree from an ABA accredited law school. We expect that candidates will have widely varied intellectual interests, and may wish to pursue research ranging across the full spectrum of legal theory.

Candidates who complete a substantial scholarly publication while in residence at the Law Center will be eligible for the LL.M. degree. The program lasts approximately 18 months, during which time the Law Teaching Fellow works closely with a single faculty mentor in order to observe and participate in teaching, as well as complete a publishable scholarly piece.
The Fellowship offers a tuition waiver, eligibility for staff health insurance, and a stipend of approximately $54,000 over the 18 month period.

Georgetown University Law Center Graduate Tax Scholars . 10 available @ USD 0

Each year the Law Center designates up to ten incoming Tax LL.M. students as Graduate Tax Scholars based on their demonstrated interest in tax policy and their potential to excel in tax scholarship. All Scholars receive full or partial tuition awards and participate in an enrichment program with leading tax practitioners and government officials. The number and size of scholarships awarded each year depends on applicants’ prior academic achievements.

Graduate Tax Scholars must complete a substantial research paper on a tax topic during the Spring Semester, either in a seminar course or as Graduate Independent Research. Scholars generally are not permitted to accept paid employment outside the Law Center during the academic year; questions about, or requests for exception from, this policy should be directed to the Director of the Graduate Tax Program. Scholars are free to apply for an academic externship (which involves academic credit rather than compensation) through the Law Center’s Spring academic externship program, although they must first consult with the Director of the Graduate Tax Program.

These Scholarships are limited to applicants who earned their J.D. degree at an ABA-AALS approved law school in the United States and who will be matriculating as full-time students.

MBA Scholarships . 0 available @ USD 0

Partial and full tuition merit-based scholarships are offered through the MBA Scholars Program. MBA Scholars are selected from the pool of applicants to the MBA Program. Selection is based primarily on scholastic performance, work experience, and other factors demonstrating leadership potential.

All accepted applicants are considered for scholarships. Awards are made on a rolling basis throughout the admissions cycle. Students are notified by mail only if a scholarship has been awarded. Scholarship notification is included with notification of admission in most cases. Students may also be notified after a letter of admission has been received. Students are encouraged to apply early to receive the best possible consideration for a scholarship. Applications received prior to February 1 will be given strongest consideration for scholarships. MBA Scholars are provided tuition awards which are credited directly to the student's account.
