If you have any hesitation about applying to this program, let me assure you: Global Scholar is the most incredible summer program out there! Whether you want to pursue a degree in international relations, have interest in public policy, or just want to become a more knowledgeable, more empathetic global citizen, this is the program for you! I loved every minute of my time at Global Scholar. Not only did I create long-lasting friendships, I was also given the necessary tools to make a true difference in my community. From meeting with economic advisers at the World Bank to having one-on-one conversations with my representatives, Global Scholar was everything I could have ever wished for (and more)!
