The Georgetown University GHD Scholarship Program offers students a fully financed two-year Master’s degree that lays a solid foundation for a future in international development by developing quantitative abilities, subject matter competence, and a client project portfolio. The Global Human Development (GHD) Program seeks to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively address the challenges of international development as professionals. This is accomplished through a combination of coursework, internships, extracurricular activities, and practical fieldwork. The Global Human Development (GHD) Program, funded by the William and Catherine McGurn Family and the Amre and Caroline Heinz-Youness Family, provides at least one full-tuition scholarship and multiple partial scholarships to students from sub-Saharan Africa. The Father Bienvenido Nebres, S.J. Scholarship is another option; it pays full tuition for students from the Philippines and partial tuition for those from Asia. A student from Latin America can receive 50% of their tuition covered by the Beeck Latin America Endowment grant, while a student from the Middle East can receive a half grant.
Eligibility Criteria:
- a bachelor’s degree.
- completion of introductory statistics, macro-, and microeconomics courses with a grade of B or above (or comparable in other grading systems).

- Highly advised: one to two years of full-time employment following an undergraduate degree.
- Previous experience living, working, and studying abroad is highly valued.
