Sponsor Student Billing (Third-Party)
What is Third-Party billing?
Revenue and Receivables offers to invoice directly third-party sponsors (such as the US Federal Government, foreign governments, private companies, and so on) for the educational costs of Georgetown University students, at no cost to the student.
How do I set up Third-Party billing?
In order to meet the requirements of Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and to ensure that bills are issued only for eligible students, official documentation endorsed by the sponsors detailing the third party’s obligation to the student must submitted to Revenue and Receivables. Any such authorizing document must contain the following:
Student name
Georgetown University ID number (the 9-digit code beginning with ‘8’ or ‘G0’)
Name, physical address, and email address of the sponsor
Academic terms covered
Types of charges covered (i.e., tuition, fees, housing, etc.)
Expected dollar amount of coverage
Any special invoicing requirements of the sponsor
Examples of acceptable documentation include the US Government Training Authorization Form (SF-182), Contract for Commercial Items (SF-1449), a financial guarantee from a foreign government, or any award letter on official letterhead containing the above items.
In order to ensure prompt processing, authorizations should be sent via email as .PDF attachments to thirdpartybilling@georgetown.edu. More information is available here.
