Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar constantly works to make its application materials accessible and user-friendly. This is an overview of the application process with details on our online application solution and the supporting application materials.

The Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar offers an Online Application System which allows for submission of key required application materials including the Personal Statement, Essay and passport photocopy .

Applicants may choose to submit the application fee online by credit card payment or by check or money order made out to Georgetown University. Please note that cash payment of the application fee is not acceptable.

The school transcripts, Overall Academic Assessment Report and the Teacher Report should be sent directly from the school; alternatively, they may be submitted by the applicant in sealed envelopes from the school, with the school official’s stamp or signature on the envelope closure.

Applicants should request to the appropriate testing organization that their TOEFL (code 8750) or IELTS results and SAT I (code 4563) or ACT (code 0669) results be sent directly from the testing organization to SFS-Qatar. SFS-Qatar will accept on a temporary basis unofficial score reports or reports provided by the student. Before a final decision can be made on the application, however, the official reports must be in the SFS-Qatar admissions office.

Please be sure to fill out all forms as completely as possible.
