What Georgetown University Graduate School Financial Aid for International Students actually covers.
Georgetown University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and its professional schools offer substantial financial aid packages to international graduate students, including those from Africa. Georgetown is particularly notable among American universities for its deep and long-standing engagement with Africa through the African Studies program, the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs, the Georgetown Public Policy Institute's Africa-focused work, and the broader university mission rooted in Jesuit values of service to society and attention to the underserved. Georgetown's School of Foreign Service (SFS) — widely considered the best international affairs school in the world — offers graduate students including international applicants merit-based and need-based fellowships. The Walsh School of Foreign Service has educated generations of African diplomats, economists, and policy leaders. Graduate fellowships at Georgetown can cover full tuition plus a living stipend, depending on the program and the applicant's merit profile. Washington D.C.'s position as the seat of American power — and home to the World Bank, IMF, Brookings Institution, and scores of African embassies — gives Georgetown graduate students unrivalled access to practitioners shaping global policy. African students applying to Georgetown's graduate programs are encouraged to complete the financial aid section of their application and to reach out to the relevant admissions offices early in the process to understand the full range of fellowship and scholarship opportunities available to international applicants in their specific program of interest.
