Payments from "Outside" Grant Sponsors

Pending Payments

If you report all of the sponsored scholarship and grant payments you expect to receive to the Georgetown University Office of Student Financial Services, you will receive temporary credit for pending payments against the balance due on your University student billing account. When the actual funds are received from your sponsoring organization, the temporary credit will be removed and the actual amount(s) credited to your student billing account.

Delivery of Funds

Sponsors should mail scholarship payments to the attention of the Grant and Scholarship Program Coordinator in the Office of Student Financial Services, Room G-19 Healy Hall, Georgetown Box 571252. Unless otherwise specified by the sponsoring organization, one-half of each student’s total annual outside scholarship awards will be applied each semester to their student billing account. In cases where funds are sent directly to the student, to avoid “double-credits” on the student’s account, the recipient should notify the Office of Student Financial Services so that the pending temporary credit for these funds can be removed from the student’s billing account.

Verification of Need or Enrollment

If a sponsor requires verification of financial need or enrollment before scholarship payment(s) can be made, the Office of Student Financial Services can assist with this certification. Students should forward need or enrollment verification materials to the attention of the Grant and Scholarship Program Coordinator in the Office of Student Financial Services, Room G-19 Healy Hall, Georgetown Box 571252.

Third Party Billings

If a sponsor requires an invoice from the University before scholarship payment(s) can be made, a written request for an official University invoice must be made to the Georgetown University Office of Student Accounts. Students can contact the GU Office of Student Accounts for additional information about outside billings by calling that office at 202-687-7100.
