Fully Funded Schwarzman Master’s Scholarship in Beijing Closes September 9
Nigerian graduates with a Bachelor’s degree can apply for the Schwarzman Scholars Programme, a fully funded one-year Master’s in Global Affairs at Tsinghua University in Beijing. Applications for international candidates close on September 9, 2026. The scholarship covers tuition, accommodation, meals, living stipend, return flights, health insurance, a laptop and study materials. Applicants must be at least 18 and under 29 by August 1 of their enrolment year. A strong application requires more than good grades. Candidates should show a clear record of leadership, a convincing career direction, thoughtful essays and detailed recommendations from people who know their work. Avoid generic essays, weak recommendation letters and last-minute submissions. Start by reviewing the official application requirements, identifying practical examples of your leadership experience and contacting potential recommenders early. This thread can help applicants discuss essays, English-language waivers and how to present a strong leadership narrative.
