Scholarship
Opportunity for Students from Sub-Saharan Africa
The Global Human Development
Program (GHD) at Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign
Service is excited to announce a full tuition scholarship for a master’s-level
student from sub-Saharan Africa, made possible through the generous support of
the William and Catherine McGurn Family.
The Global Human Development
Program is a two year, full-time master's degree that encompasses an innovative
skills-based curriculum with built-in opportunities for experiential learning.
The curriculum covers core courses including the economics of development,
international political economy, program design and implementation, monitoring
and evaluation, quantitative and qualitative methodologies, finance and
budgeting, and management.
In addition to the curriculum,
students apply the skills and knowledge they are learning in the classroom to
three different professional work experiences: the summer field project (a
fully-funded 2-3 month international work placement); an internship at a
relevant Washington DC-based international development organization/agency for
at least one academic semester; and the capstone project (a two-semester client
engagement project emphasizing project management and analysis).
As GHD is a
practitioner-focused program, competitive applicants must have at least two
years of experience working in international development or a related field.
All applicants must have completed an undergraduate degree prior to proposed
enrollment.
To be considered for the
scholarship, applicants must submit all required application materials:
1.Online application
2. Personal statement
3. Supplemental data sheet
4. Official transcripts and
test scores (GREs and TOEFL/IELTS)
5. Three letters of
recommendation
The scholarship will be
awarded based on the overall strength of the application. The deadline for
admission is January 15.
