Overview:
The purpose of Schwarzman Scholars is to prepare students for the difficulties that lie ahead.
It was influenced by the Rhodes Scholarship, which was established in 1902 to advance global amity and peace.
Up to 200 scholars from the United States, China, and other countries are supported by Schwarzman Scholars each year to pursue a one-year master's degree in global affairs at Beijing's Tsinghua University, which is ranked first in Asia and serves as the foundation for China's leadership in politics, business, and technology.
The extremely exclusive program will place selected students in Beijing for a year of study and cultural immersion, where they will attend lectures, explore the area, and gain a deeper understanding of China.
Schwarzman Scholars became one of the most prestigious graduate and fellowship programs in the world as soon as admissions began in the fall of 2015 with exceptional success.

Eligibility:
First degree earned at a reputable college or university, or its equivalent, during undergraduate studies.
No matter their nationality, individuals between the ages of 18 and 28 who are fluent in English and have earned an undergraduate degree or its equivalent are eligible for the program.
Admission does not require proficiency in Mandarin. Successful applicants are young individuals who have already started to show the ability to lead and generate results in their areas and who are dedicated to fostering understanding between those with different perspectives, whether they be in politics, business, the sciences, or the arts.
Those who are applying must be on track to successfully complete all degree requirements before August 1 of their Schwarzman Scholars enrollment year. This requirement applies to those who are currently enrolled in undergraduate degree programs.
All undergraduate majors are acceptable; there are no requirements for a particular field of study. However, it is crucial for applicants, regardless of undergraduate major, to explain how being a Schwarzman Scholar will help them develop their leadership potential in their field.
Age restriction.
As of August 1 of their Schwarzman Scholars enrollment year, candidates must be at least 18 but not yet 29 years old.
Proficiency in the English language.
Since all instruction will be in English, applicants must exhibit good language proficiency. If English is not the applicant's first language, official English proficiency test results must be included with the application. Suitable exam alternatives include:
- English language proficiency test, score of at least 600.
- English as a Foreign Language Test offered online, a 100 minimum score.
- System for International English Language Testing (IELTS). Minimum rating: 7.
Applicants who completed their undergraduate studies at a school where English was the major language of teaching for at least two years are exempted from this requirement. Additionally, applicants with a Master's degree who have studied in English for two or more years are exempted from this criterion.
Due to heavy demand, it has been challenging for many Chinese Schwarzman Scholar applicants to register at English language testing facilities in Mainland China.
We will allow applicants from China to temporarily submit results from CET-6 or TEM-8, utilizing the "extra information" section in the application form, in order to ensure that talented applicants are not dismissed in this initial year.
Before judgments about the semi-finalists are made, those applicants must complete a phone interview if they are on the shortlist to be asked for an interview.
In the event that they are selected as finalists, their admission will be offered on a conditional basis, and they will still be needed to produce a TOEFL or IELTS score that is higher than the minimal threshold for Schwarzman Scholars by March 1, 2024.
For applicants who completed their undergraduate degree at a school where English was the predominant language of teaching for at least three years, this criterion is waived.
