As part of the Principal’s Global Scholars, the Principal’s Global Scholars Award for Graduate Students supports newly admitted students who have experienced forced migration within the past five years in eligible, full-time research-based graduate degree programs and the Smith MBA program.
This award is a two-year pilot project, starting in 2025.
