Former Federal Employees, Advance Your Career with a Master’s Degree (10% Tuition Scholarship)
To support current and recently separated federal civil government employees, Georgetown is offering a 10% scholarship on base tuition for those applying to master’s programs for the 2026–2027 academic year. This opportunity is especially designed for individuals interested in pivoting from federal service into a health-related career.
Applicants must provide evidence of federal civil service employment or affected status, and some restrictions may apply. Current students who have been impacted may also be eligible for this merit-based aid through their program’s standard review process.
