Clark University’s Global Scholars Program is structured specifically for incoming international first-year students who demonstrate outstanding leadership potential and a rigorous academic record.
- The Global Cohort: This program selects a select cohort of international students each year, offering them direct mentorship, specialized seminars, and a powerful global network.
- Merit-Need Integration: The scholarship operates as a hybrid program, combining merit-based prestige with a guaranteed financial foundation to help international families offset the cost of study in the United States.
- The Internship Stipend: Unlike standard scholarships, Clark integrates a dedicated, guaranteed professional development stipend to ensure scholars can pursue unpaid research or global internships without financial strain.
