Schwarzman Scholarship Application Now Open

The application for the 2023-2024 class of Schwarzman Scholars is officially open. In a world that increasingly needs steady and thoughtful leadership, Schwarzman Scholars will be able to understand firsthand the importance that collaboration and mutual understanding play in tackling geopolitical challenges, with a focus on China’s role in global affairs.

The program is open to candidates aged 18 to 28, regardless of nationality, who are proficient in English and have an undergraduate degree or its equivalent. Mandarin skills are not required for admission. Whether in politics, business, sciences, or the arts — successful applicants are young people who have already demonstrated both the ability to lead in their chosen fields and a commitment to building understanding among people with differing perspectives.

To access the U.S./Global application and learn more about application requirements, please visit the Schwarzman Scholars website. The U.S./Global application will close at 11:59PM EDT on September 20, 2022. The deadline for candidates who hold passports from Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao is May 20, 2022.

Applications will be reviewed by a distinguished team of readers from around the world. From there, around 300 candidates will be invited to interview virtually in late October and early November. Selected candidates will be notified of their acceptance by mid-November 2022.

To give those interested in Schwarzman Scholars the opportunity to learn more about our selection process and unique elements of the Scholar experience while engaging with our Admissions officers, current Scholars, and alumni, we will be hosting webinars through the next several months leading up to the application deadline.
