Tuition Discounts and Scholarships
MHSA students may be eligible for a range of tuition discounts and scholarship opportunities offered by Georgetown University and the MHSA program. These opportunities are designed to support working professionals and reflect the University’s commitment to access and value in graduate education.
Merit-Based Financial Aid
MHSA students may be considered for merit-based scholarships awarded by the program. These competitive awards are based on academic achievement, professional experience, leadership potential, and the strength of an applicant’s overall profile.
Applicants who complete their MHSA application by the January 15 priority deadline are given priority consideration for these awards, and no separate scholarship application is required — your admissions application serves as the basis for evaluation. These merit awards are applied directly to tuition and may be combined with other eligible discounts as permitted by university policy.

10% Tuition Discount for Employees from Eligible Organizations
