Applications for the second cohort of Schwarzman Scholars
opened today, April 15, 2016, and we are looking forward to meeting another
outstanding group of high-potential young leaders from around the
world.
In our first year, 111 Schwarzman Scholars were selected
from more than 3,000 applicants, making the program one of the most selective in
the world. The first class of Schwarzman Scholars was featured in the
New
York Times and is composed of students from 32 countries and 75
universities, with 44% from the United States, 21% from China, and 35% from the
rest of the world.
This year, this unparalleled fully-funded opportunity
will be extended to up to 125 students. The program is open to students and
young professionals between the ages of 18 and 28 years old, regardless of
nationality, who are proficient in English and have obtained an undergraduate
degree or its equivalent from an accredited college or university. To learn more
about the application requirements, please click here

The application is
now available on the Schwarzman Scholars website and will close on September 15
for applicants from the United States and across the globe.
For applicants who hold passports from Mainland China,
Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macao, regardless of where they attended university, the
application can be found on the Tsinghua University website
and must be submitted by June 15,
2016.
In addition to evaluating applicants’ proven intellectual
and academic ability, the admissions process is heavily focused on evaluating
applicants’ leadership potential, strength of character, ability to anticipate
and act on emerging trends and opportunities, and desire to understand other
cultures, perspectives and positions. Those selected will have demonstrated
their potential to not only benefit from but also contribute to the Schwarzman
Scholars program and the network of Schwarzman Scholars
alumni.
The written application will be reviewed
by a distinguished team of readers
from around the world who will narrow the pool based on an extensive set of
guidelines. To evaluate candidates across a globally diverse applicant pool, the
process relies on readers from many different regions and backgrounds who can
provide insights to identify the highest level of leadership and academic
excellence. More than 300 semi-finalists will
be invited to an in-person regional interview in Beijing, Bangkok, London, or
New York, and will go before panels of distinguished figures comprised of
CEOs, former heads of state, university presidents, non-profit executives,
journalists, and other leaders from around the world.
Webinars for interested applicants will be
hosted in
April and throughout the next several months leading up to the application
deadline. To
find out more, please sign up for a session through our website or contact
us with any questions.
With best
regards,
