Supporting Displaced Federal Workers
Opportunities and Resources for Displaced Federal Workers
Georgetown University School of Nursing deeply values the service and commitment of federal workers. We understand that recent changes within the federal workforce are bringing uncertainty and challenges, and we are committed to supporting you during this time. We have compiled a range of resources and opportunities designed to assist all federal workers looking for a career in nursing, including our alumni and members of the Georgetown community, as you navigate your next steps.
Pursue a Master’s Degree (10% Tuition Scholarship)
Georgetown is offering a 10% scholarship on the base tuition to current or recently separated federal civil government employees. This scholarship is applicable to federal workers and affiliates applying for the Academic Year 2025-2026, especially those looking to shift their path from federal worker to a nursing career. Application must include proof of federal civil service employment or affected status. Some restrictions may apply. Affected current students are eligible for this merit-based aid through their respective programs, following standard university procedures.
In addition, we are waiving the application fee and extending the deadline to May 1 (or beyond for some programs) for those applying to start a master’s degree in the 2025-2026 academic year for nearly all master’s programs at Georgetown. (All master’s degree programs are eligible for the application fee waiver.)

Current seniors and undergraduate alumni from the Classes of 2023 and 2024 who enroll in Fall 2025 are eligible for a 10% base tuition scholarship for select master’s degrees.
