All awards are based on departmental recommendations, and international students compete for these awards on an equal basis with U.S. citizens.

Financial Resources In Your Home Country
There may be a number of financial aid resources available through your home country government. The Ministry of Education in your home country or your embassy in Washington, DC should be able to provide you with information on available scholarship programs.
Loans and Scholarships
The Office of Financial Services lists all private lenders that students (both domestic and international) have utilized in the past three years on their website. Select the expand button at the bottom of the page to see the full list. Some of these lenders may require co-signers or not be eligible for international students. Students may also reference this list of external international scholarships and private lenders who provide education loans and scholarships specifically to international students. This is not a recommended or preferred lender list. This is simply a list of international resources that has been collected based on available public information, for your convenience. The list may not be exhaustive, so we recommend you also explore additional loan options that may be available through other resources.
Students have the right and ability to select the lender of their choice and are not required to use any of the resources on this list. Students considering a private education loan program should carefully consider the terms and conditions of the loan. Individual lenders will, at their discretion, evaluate credit history.
Georgetown University does not endorse, recommend, monitor, or otherwise take responsibility for the products or services offered by any organization listed on the external scholarship and private lender’s list.
