Grad Students
Unfortunately our program currently only supports first-generation and/or low-income (FGLI) undergraduate students at Georgetown University. We have however started to collect more resources and support systems available for FGLI grad students! As a first start we do always encourage students to reach out to their degree program and department and their schools’ specific Equity and Inclusion Office for resources! If you have any resource to share please let us know!
