Scholars are artists, athletes, leaders, poets, scientists, musicians, and activists.
Prospective students do not apply to the John Carroll Scholars Program. Rather, all Georgetown applicants are pre-screened by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions during both the Early Action and Regular Decision general application process. The John Carroll Scholars Selection Committee, comprised of Faculty, Administrators, and current Scholars, further reviews those applicants whose qualifications most clearly match the goals and mission of the Program. Approximately five percent of each entering class is nominated to the Program. Prospective Scholars are free to decline or accept this nomination after the May 1st enrollment deposit deadline.
