Acceptance to the Global Scholar program is a separate decision
from admission to VCU. Applicants must apply to VCU and to the
Global Scholar program. Prospective Global Scholar students are
generally but not solely evaluated on the criteria listed below
which is consistent with the policies for admission to VCU immediately
after high school graduation. The target is to accept approximately
30 students each to constitute the cohort for the year.
- High School Grade Point Average and Rank in
Class or other measure of the student's performance in high
school or equivalent preparation. (Students that do not have
a class ranking will not be penalized in the admission process.)
- Test Scores from the SAT I or ACT.
- Course of study pursued during high school
or equivalent preparation. This should have included 4 units
of English, a minimum of 3 units of history, social studies
or government, a minimum of 4 units in mathematics including
algebra II and preferably applied calculus, 2 or more units
in science with at least one laboratory, and 2 or more units
of at least one foreign language are very strongly recommended.
- Written statement to support your admission
to the VCU Global Scholars Program.
The VCU deadline for students to apply for a university scholarship
is January 1. Candidates for the Global Scholar Program are to
apply by March 1 and they will be notified of a decision as soon
as possible. All Global Scholar applicants will be notified of
the Global Scholar admission decision by April 1.
Global Scholar applicants should write a 750-word maximum essay
on the following topic: "Education and Life: A Personal Statement." This
essay should include educational goals, prior experiences, creative
work and honors which relate to the Global Scholar in Business.
