Scholarship Summary:
Scholarship Sponsor(s): Global Human Development (GHD) Program
Scholarships to be taken at: Georgetown University
Scholarship Type: Fully Funded Scholarship
Number of Awards: Not Stated
Scholarship Level: Masters
Nationality: Sub-Saharan African Countries
Requirement and Eligibility Criteria for the Georgetown University Scholarship:
- 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. This requirement is intended to give students the quantitative foundation that they need prior to their first semester in the GHD program. If applicants did not earn a B or better in one of the prerequisite courses, or if they took the courses more than two years ago, they may be advised to take less formal refresher courses prior to starting the program.
- 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.
