Global Scholars Scholarships

Drexel University will award five $5000 scholarships to incoming freshmen with an interest in global cultures, language study and studying abroad.

To be considered for the Global Scholars Scholarship, an application for admission along with high school transcripts, SAT or ACT scores, and letters of recommendation, must be on file with the Admissions Office by December 15.

A completed scholarship application, available at the Student Resource Center's Financial Aid Forms and Brochures page, indicating your intention to apply for this scholarship and an essay/personal statement documenting your language proficiency, interest in study abroad, and how participation in a study abroad program will advance your career goals should be submitted by October 15th.

Decisions concerning the Global Scholars Scholarships will be made by March 15.

The Global Scholars Scholarship is renewable for each year of the recipient’s undergraduate degree program, providing he/she is enrolled in a full-time-day undergraduate program at Drexel and maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of each academic year. The Global Scholars Scholarship is applied to annual tuition only. It is not applied to room and board, fees, or partial tuition rates.

Applicants not selected for this scholarship will be considered for other University scholarships and grants. If the recipient files the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and becomes eligible for other financial assistance, the amount of this award will become part of his/her total financial aid package. Notification of other financial assistance will be separate from notification of the Global Scholars Scholarship.
