Merit Scholarships
GHD offers a number of merit-based scholarships each year to new and returning students of all nationalities. Scholarships are in the form of full or partial tuition remission. Scholarships awarded in the first year are renewable at the same amount for the second year contingent on the recipient meeting certain academic standards.
Since merit-based scholarships are not guaranteed, and funding amounts may vary, we encourage students to be proactive in seeking out external funding sources that will cover the difference between the cost of attendance and any scholarship funding that the GHD Program is able to provide. You can find a list of external funding opportunities here, and please note that this list is not exhaustive.
GHD 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:Â for a GHD student from Latin America covering 50% of tuition; A partial tuition scholarship for a GHD student from the Middle East.
To be considered for the 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
