Scholarship Description
Emory University welcomes students from all over the world. A significant number of international students—from more than 100 countries—help make its campuses rich with various languages, cultures and heritages.

Emory University offers partial to full merit-based scholarships as part of the Emory University Scholar Programs. The aim of the campus scholar community is to empower students, through distinct resources and support, to reach their full potential and have a notable impact on the university, Atlanta, and the greater global community.

In the past students needed to be nominated for the Emory University Scholar Programs. Starting with the 2013-2014 application cycle and going forward there is no longer a nomination process to be considered for the program. International students are encouraged to apply under the Regular Decision plan.
