Part-time Employment

Part-time employment, both on and off campus, is available as an alternative or supplement to a financial aid package. To assist students in locating such employment, the OSFS has established an Employment Referral Service. The Service acts as a clearinghouse for part-time and temporary job listings on campus and for local businesses and organizations. It is available to all Georgetown University students regardless of financial need.

Junior Fellows in Diplomacy

The Institute for the Study of Diplomacy (ISD) offers the Junior Fellowships in Diplomacy, which brings students into a direct working relationship with the Diplomatic Associates. The Associates are experienced practitioners of international relations conducting individual research while sharing their experience with the University. Junior Fellows receive a stipend and three academic credits. They are selected on the basis of overall academic and professional record and the quality of the research proposal submitted to the selection committee. Information about the Fellowships is administered by the ISD. For additional information, click here.
