Applying for Restricted Scholarships

The Harvard University Committee on General Scholarships (CGS) administers various university-wide scholarship funds both for US and international students. The CGS website listed below will take you through a series of steps to see if you meet the selection criteria for any of the scholarships that are available. (The Lehman, Starr and Thayer Scholarships are awarded by GSD staff and/or faculty, and therefore students do not apply for them.)

Please review the list of scholarships at http://www.scholarship.harvard.edu. All students should check both the US section and the international section of CGS webpage.

If you find you qualify for one or more of the scholarships, you will need to complete the application below that applies to you. All of these awards are based partly on need. When asked to show supporting documentation, you should provide some evidence of proof that you qualify for that particular award. For example, for an award based on citizenship, you can send a copy of your passport along with the application. If you do not find an award you are eligible for on the CGS website above, then you do not need to fill out the application. Please remember that students from all over Harvard University are eligible for these awards and the competition may increase based on the selection criteria.
