Tuition & Fees
All opportunities to assist students entering the M.A. program with tuition costs and other financial responsibilities appear on this page. In general, students will have to make necessary arrangements to support their pursuing the M.A. English degree at Georgetown.
In addition, we’ve highlighted below two hourly wage job opportunities with programs we’ve established partnerships with on-campus. Applicants can apply for these jobs before they’ve confirmed their intention to matriculate into the M.A. English program. To learn about additional hourly employment opportunities, visit our Professional Development webpage.
Please note: If you are awarded the Truman Scholarship, Georgetown University will provide a match of up to $30,000 to cover cost-of-education expenses, e.g. tuition and related fees, living expenses, textbooks, etc.

Alternate Sources of Funding
Students are strongly encouraged to apply for external sources of funding concurrently with their application to the program. Unlike undergraduate admissions, where most applicants apply for admission first and then apply for aid, applications for national scholarships and graduate financial aid applications often have their deadlines at the same time or prior to program admission dates.
For more information on grants, fellowships, internships, and other external funding opportunities, please visit Grant Finding and Writing Resources on the Graduate School’s website and/or Outside Scholarships on the Office of Student Financial Services’ website. Students interested in more information on federal loans and grants should contact the Office of Student Financial Services.
If you would like to speak to a financial aid counselor, find your assigned counselor in the directory based on the first letter of your last name under the graduate tab.
Students are also able to find job opportunities both on and off campus. For on-campus opportunities, search the Student Employment Office database. Please note that graduate students may work up to but no more than 20 hours/week total in all on-campus jobs.
