Investing in the Future
The Georgetown Scholars Program (GSP) was founded in 2004 and has served over 2,600 students and graduates, most of whom were the first generation in their families to attend college, since the program’s inception. Currently, the GSP family provides programmatic support for over 650 undergraduates, the program works with students as they navigate through elite higher education. GSP’s mission is to work towards a more equitable college experience for first-generation and low-income college students. GSP students proudly hold a 94% graduation rate.
“Scholarships get these phenomenal students to Georgetown, and then GSP has the great pleasure of working with them through Georgetown.” – GSP Director Missy Foy (C’ 03)
The program approaches the mission in four key ways: Advising & Mentorship (opens in new tab) opportunities, Community Building (opens in new tab), Necessity Funding (opens in new tab), and Advocacy (opens in new tab) work. To get an inside look at the approaches, we invite you to explore the “Student Resources” and “Advocacy” tabs of this website.
