GEMS Program – Financial Aid Application
Students admitted into the GEMS Program who wish to apply for institutional need-based aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the Georgetown Application for Financial Aid and the CSS Profile. Applicants must complete the 2024 – 25 FAFSA no later than May 1st. Applicants are REQUIRED to submit the completed Georgetown Application for Financial Aid and CSS Profile to our office no later than May 15th. NO exceptions to this deadline can be made for institutional aid consideration.
ACTION ITEM #1 —
Complete the 2024 – 2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by 11:59 PM EST on May 1st to be considered for institutional aid. Georgetown University School of Medicine’s FAFSA Code is E00518.
Because of the FAFSA Simplification Act, you will no longer be able to provide parental/guardian financial data. As such, please see the next action item below for how to provide us this data instead to determine financial need. Please note that FAFSA data can take 4 – 8 weeks for us to receive it from the federal processor, and we will NOT be able to confirm receipt unless you have been accepted to the GEMS Program.
ACTION ITEM #2 —
Complete the GEMS Program Application for Financial Aid (new window) by 11:59 PM EST on May 15th to be considered for institutional aid. The financial aid application deadline applies to all applicants regardless of admission status (i.e. wait-listed, not yet accepted). NO exceptions to this deadline can be made for institutional aid consideration regardless of admissions status.
ACTION ITEM #3 —
Complete the 2024 – 2025 CSS Profile by 11:59 PM EST on May 15th to be considered for institutional aid. Our GUSOM school code for the CSS Profile is 3466.
There is a small cost to complete the application – the fee for the initial application is $25. Additional reports for other schools are $16 each. We do NOT have access to fee waivers for the CSS Profile.
When filling out this application, please complete ALL information requested for yourself AND your parent(s)/guardian(s) (note: when applicable, BOTH parental/guardian data MUST be provided whether married, never married, separated or divorced). This is REQUIRED on the CSS Profile for ALL need-based institutional aid applicants regardless of age, independence or marital status. Though the CSS Profile may state that you should submit your parent(s)’/guardian(s)’ taxes, we ask that you DO NOT send tax documents to Georgetown Med.
