The Pat Tillman Foundation unites and empowers a diverse community of remarkable military veterans and spouses as the next generation of public and private sector leaders committed to service beyond self. It is Pat’s principles and service that are his true legacy. Pat believed in something bigger than himself—the qualities we look for in our Tillman Scholars are the same qualities that Pat displayed throughout his life.
The Pat Tillman Foundation and Georgetown University have a long history of collaboration and excellence. Georgetown has had the honor of having 21 Pat Tillman Scholars as students. From students studying international affairs, public policy and law, to scholars in the fields of business, nursing and medicine, Georgetown are proud to partner with the Pat Tillman Foundation and champion its mission.
