Scholarship Opportunities

• Undergraduate Scholarships

  Available for both full-time and part-time students

  St. George’s University offers partial-tuition scholarships to citizens of CARICOM countries who otherwise, due to financial constraints, could not attend the School. The following scholarship programs are only for attendance in the undergraduate programs at St. George’s University.

  Caribbean Undergraduate Scholarship Program

  The Caribbean Undergraduate Scholarship Program (CUSP) offers partial-tuition scholarships to CARICOM citizens attending in Grenada only. The CUSP scholarship can reduce the amount of tuition for undergraduate studies by 65%. Awards for the CUSP are for the duration of the undergraduate program.

  Employee Scholarship Program

  Tuition scholarships are awarded to full-time employees and their dependent children for as long as their full time employment with the University continues. This tuition grant is applicable to the undergraduate level only.

  Professional Enhancement Program

  This grant is designed to assist the spouse/significant other of full time SGU employees who do not reside in a CARICOM country and are taking courses for personal enrichment. Students meeting this criteria can receive a PEP grant for up to 12 credits of non-degree courses. This partial tuition grant can reduce the amount of tuition by 65%. Once the 12 credits are taken, or a student enrolls in a degree program, the scholarship expires.

  Applying for Scholarships

  If you would like to apply for any of the three scholarship programs listed above, please first apply to Admissions.

  After you are accepted for enrollment, submit the online Undergraduate Scholarship Application. Applicants will receive a determination via email.

• Grenadian Partnership Award

  The Grenadian partnership Award Program (GPA) offers a partial tuition scholarship to resident Grenadian citizens who demonstrate financial need.

  Awards are only given to students who are matriculating into an undergraduate degree program. Beginning in August 2016, the GPA awarded to new recipients will reduce the student’s tuition charge by 90%.

  GPA Awards are for the duration of the undergraduate program.

  Grenadian citizens are automatically reviewed for a Grenadian Partnership Award. Awards are distributed based on the student’s Grenadian citizenship and matriculation in an undergraduate level program. Students will receive an award letter via email after a deposit is made.

• Caribbean Visionary Scholarship

  The Caribbean Visionary Scholarship seeks to make tertiary education possible for some of the region’s top scholars who might otherwise be unable to attend university. Recipients, who must be CARICOM citizens, will be able to utilize these full and partial tuition scholarships in order to pursue one of the undergraduate degrees within the School of Arts and Sciences at SGU. The Visionary Scholarships are designed to complement the need-based Caricom Undergraduate Scholarship Program (CUSP) already offered by the University.

  Award determinations are made by the Visionary Scholarship Committee based primarily on academic excellence and the student’s commitment to the chosen discipline.  We seek to nurture and encourage more students of superior academic caliber to strike out and impact the Caribbean.
