2025 Georgetown University GHD Scholarship Program (Fully Funded)
Georgetown University GHD Scholarship Program offers students a fully funded two-year Master’s degree to build the quantitative skills, subject matter expertise, and client project portfolio that serves as a strong foundation for their career in international development.
The goal of the Global Human Development (GHD) Program is to prepare students – through coursework, internships, extra-curricular activity, and practical field work – to understand the challenges of international development and provide the tools to address those challenges as successful professionals.
Eligibility Criteria:
- 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.
Benefits:
The Scholarship is fully funded and will run for a period of two years.
