I am a proud Prep mom of a graduate from the Class of 2021 and a current Hoya in the Class of 2025. I am equally proud of my daughter, a graduate from the Academy of the Holy Cross, who would have attended Prep if she had been able. My family has a long history with Prep.  I grew up in Bethesda, MD and my brothers are Prep graduates,  along with five nephews who are proud Prep alums. My love for Jesuit education extends beyond Prep. I received my undergraduate degree from Loyola University Maryland.  I am also a graduate of the Columbus School of Law at The Catholic University of America. Following a judicial clerkship, I practiced civil defense litigation throughout the State of Maryland and the District of Columbia. After a number of years at home raising my children though grade school, I joined the Admission team at Prep in 2018.  I love working with the new families as they begin to understand what a Prep education has to offer their son.

I was born and raised in Princeton, NJ but have called the D.C. Metro area home since matriculating at Georgetown University in 2005, where I majored in English and played outfield for the baseball team. I have been employed in many different capacities at Prep since the moment I graduated from Georgetown , beginning as a baseball coach and dorm parent in 2009 (while still a Yankee fan at heart, I have also developed a dose of Natitude). I lived and coached at Prep for a year while I was a D.C. Teaching Fellow in D.C. Public Schools. I then found myself at Prep full-time not too long after, working in the Dean of Students Office and teaching English. I am now in my ninth year working in the Admissions Office while continuing to coach baseball and teach English and recently finishing a Masters from Johns Hopkins University.  My toddler and pup also love campus to the fullest and are frequent visitors.  My favorite part of my job is beyond simple––the students, whether current or prospective. I relish the chance to meet a prospective student in 8th grade and then bear witness to his four years of growth at Prep. I love that I am encouraged and able to pursue my passions and hobbies here - literature and baseball - and be the lifelong learner I aspire to: Prep, and every other Jesuit institution, is marked by an extremely supportive and nurturing environment. HOYA SAXA!

I’m a proud Prep alumus, former resident student from Indiana, Class of 1992. It’s an honor to be back assisting the Admissions team to inspire young men to want to become a member of the Georgetown Prep family. We work hard here, we love one another, and we share many, many laughs together! When I’m off campus you’ll find me on my front porch listening to the Black Crowes (it’s a band) and spending time with my lovely wife and two wonderful children. We are a family that loves to explore the West with fly rods over our shoulders, curious to know where we are going to set up the tent for the night. “Dream Big and Dare to Fail” - Norman Vaughan

Georgetown Prep is committed to building a collaborative relationship with prospective and current families as they plan for the financial realities associated with their son's high school education. It is our goal to make Georgetown Prep affordable for all accepted students: Prep does not offer academic or athletic scholarships, reserving all aid for those who have a demonstrated financial need. The decision to apply for financial aid has no bearing on the admissions process. Admissions decisions are need blind. About 26% of families receive financial aid. Day student grants range from $5,000 to $35,000, with an average grant between $10,000 and $15,000 in a given year.

Please refer to the information below to guide you through the financial aid process. 

Note for separated or divorced parents: In the case of divorced or separated parents, each retains the obligation to contribute to the education of his or her son, regardless of whether a legal agreement to do so exists. Both parents must complete a required Financial Aid application either jointly or separately. Financial aid grants will be made only after considering the financial resources of both parents. In the case of separated and/or divorced parents, no information will be given by the school to either parent regarding the other parent's financial disclosures. The assets of both parents will be considered before making any award; the assertion that one parent has disclaimed responsibility for educational expenses does not apply.

Apply on time. This is the most important thing you can do to increase your chances of receiving an aid award. If you think there is any chance your family will choose Georgetown Prep, apply for financial aid at the same time you apply for admission. Please do not wait until your son is admitted to apply for financial aid. Often financial aid funds are spoken for at this point.

Know the Requirements. Families need to submit the online aid application and completed 2019 tax forms (including 1040's, W-2's, and any other documentation related to income or estimated income) to TADS by the deadlines indicated above. Furthermore, 2020 tax documentation must be submitted to TADS as soon as it is available. Forms can be uploaded, emailed or faxed to TADS. Families can access TADS at any time to check the status of their application.
