Scholarships

All candidates are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships based on their admissions application. Criteria includes academic record, professional promise and focus. You will be notified by Student Affairs if you have been selected for a GSM scholarship. Please note that for most scholarships, if you already receive a scholarship package exceeding the amount of the scholarship, no additional funds will be awarded.
