Expanded Scholarships

Overview:

Hudson Global Scholars (HGS) is pleased to announce a significant increase to its scholarship

awards with the addition of merit scholarships for high school diploma graduates of HGS network

schools. Graduates who earn a grade point average (G.P.A.) of 3.7 or higher are eligible for a

$10,000 scholarship to attend a participating U.S. university.

Scholarship Levels to Universities in the United States

Currently, every successful graduate with a 2.5 G.P.A. or better receives a scholarship of at least

$1,500 to one of the Hudson Global Scholars participating universities in the U.S. This process

remains unchanged in accordance with the existing guarantee.

Beginning in October 2024, HGS will add a merit scholarship for diploma graduates with a G.P.A.

of 3.7 and above. These graduates will be eligible for a minimum award of $10,000 to attend one of

the participating U.S. universities in Hudson’s University Admissions Guarantee.

Background

International high-school students (who qualify for F-1 status) are eligible to benefit from Hudson

Global Scholars’ University Admissions Guarantee if they earn an American high school diploma

from a Hudson Global Scholars’ network school (i.e., Columbia School, Providence Country Day

School Global Campus, Catholic Virtual, Franklin School, Calvert Preparatory School).

This guarantee includes several benefits, including university advising services and—for successful

graduates—guaranteed admission to at least one of Hudson's participating universities, plus

scholarships of at least $1,500 to the universities in the United States.

In accordance with its mission of providing educational opportunities to students, Hudson Global

Scholars has expanded its scholarship awards to assist graduates with the high cost of U.S.

universities. With the launch of the merit scholarship program, Hudson Global Scholars will enable

more students to attend university in the United States, offering more significant scholarships to top

students.

‍

How is the grade point average (G.P.A.) calculated?

The G.P.A. is an average of the student’s

final course grades in their Hudson Global Scholar’s network school courses. Though local school

transcripts are also submitted for admission to individual universities, only HGS course grades will

be considered for scholarship award levels.

‍

Is the scholarship award for one year or multiple years?

‍The scholarship may be awarded in one

lump sum for the first year, or it may be distributed over several years. Award levels and timing are

determined in coordination with the admitting university. Students will not receive more than the

stated maximum (see table on page 1). For example, an award of $10,000 may be offered one-time

in the first year or offered as an annual award of $2,500 over four years.

‍

What factors determine the scholarship level?

‍At a minimum, students receive the scholarship

amount based on their G.P.A. (see table on page 1). Higher award amounts, up to the stated

maximum, are awarded by the university depending on academic achievement, financial need, and

the selection of university and major
