2027 Georgetown University GHD Scholarship in USA | 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.

Eligibilty: 

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.
