Situated in the Center for Multicultural Equity and Access, the Community Scholars Program (CSP) is focused on enrolling and supporting first-generation and low-income students throughout their time at Georgetown. CSP provides participating students, known as Community Scholars, with academic, personal, and financial support; a summer program prior to the students’ first year; first-year experience seminars; a formal peer mentoring program; academic advising; counseling; and study groups. Beyond their first year, Community Scholars receive continued academic and personal support through seminars, one-on-one meetings with program staff, social outings, and community service opportunities. Community Scholars are also eligible for an annual summer scholarship that promotes their participation in internships, study abroad, research, and community engagement opportunities.
