The Commonwealth – Grenada St. Georges University Scholarship Program

SGU realizes the importance of offering academically gifted students, with limited resources, the ability to reach their potential.  The University is thrilled to announce The Commonwealth – Grenada St. Georges University Scholarship Program  (CGSC) which will be implemented in January 2007.

75 full tuition scholarships will be offered over 10 years to qualified students from Commonwealth countries.  Preference will be given to students from developing countries and small states.

5 scholarship programs have been created under the umbrella of The Commonwealth-Grenada St. George’s University Scholarship Program.  They will benefit both graduate and undergraduate students who demonstrate academic excellence, financial need and a commitment to their chosen discipline.

A Commonwealth-Grenada St. George’s University Scholarship Committee has been established by the University to award the scholarships.  While the $4 million (USD) program will fully fund tuition, students will require separate support for living and traveling expenses.

SGU will maintain strict adherence to its admission requirements.  Applicants will have up to April 15, 2007 to submit application and 500 word essay for the August 2007 class.  The deadline for the January 2008 class is September 15, 2007.
