Georgetown University will offer bachelor’s degrees to about 25 people currently incarcerated in a Maryland prison. According to a report by
The Hill, the university is building upon its Prison Scholars Program after receiving a $1 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. 
Since the program was started in 2018 in response to incarceration and recidivism, more than 150 students at the Washington, D.C. prison have taken no-credit classes.The three-year grant will permit the students in the program to start earning credits towards a degree. 
Students can choose from three majors, cultural humanities, interdisciplinary social sciences, or global intellectual history with courses taught by Georgetown professors, according to a press release made by the university on Tuesday (April 7).
