2027 Georgetown University GHD Scholarship in USA

The Global Human Development (GHD) Program is pleased to offer merit-based scholarships to international students from the following regions:

• At least one full-tuition scholarship and several partial scholarships for GHD students from sub-Saharan Africa, made possible through the generous support of the Amre and Caroline Heinz-Youness Family and the William and Catherine McGurn Family.

• The Father Bienvenido Nebres, S.J. Scholarship covering full tuition for a GHD student from the Philippines; A partial tuition scholarship for a GHD student from Asia.

• The Beeck Latin America Endowed Scholarship:  for a GHD student from Latin America covering 50% of tuition; A partial tuition scholarship for a GHD student from the Middle East.

Applicants to the Global Human Development (GHD) Program should meet the following requirements:

• A Bachelor’s degree.

• Completion of courses in introductory macro- and microeconomics and statistics, with a grade of B or better (or the equivalent, if a different grading system is used).

• Students must complete these requirements prior to enrolling in the program, and, given that we evaluate applications holistically, applicants who have not yet completed the required courses are not at a disadvantage during the admissions process. 

• Ability to function effectively in English and one other language (students must pass an oral proficiency exam before graduation, so ideally they will have a reasonable command of one foreign language before entering the program).

• At least 1-2 years of full-time work experience post-undergraduate degree is strongly recommended.

• Experience living, studying, and working outside of the United States is strongly recommended.

The GHD Scholarship is a full tuition award and will run for a period of two years.

To be considered for the GHD scholarships, applicants must submit all required application materials:

• Online application

• Personal statement

• Supplemental data sheet

• Official transcripts and test scores (GREs and TOEFL/IELTS)

• Three letters of recommendation
