What opportunities are available to support the brightest minds from around the world? The Global Excellence Scholarship (GES) at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities is a golden opportunity. This scholarship offers substantial support to outstanding international first-year students and transfer students.

The GES awards are highly competitive and based on academic merit. Recipients are typically among the top performers in their high school class and demonstrate exceptional academic preparation. The primary aim of the scholarship is to attract and retain the best international students, providing them with the resources to excel in their studies.

All international first-year and transfer students admitted to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities are automatically considered for the GES. It means there is no separate application process for the scholarship; it is awarded based on an overall assessment of the student’s application for admission. The awards are granted at admission, and continuing students not initially awarded the scholarship are not eligible to apply later.

Global Excellence Scholarships are only available to F-1 visa holders, and students must maintain F-1 status to continue receiving the GES award.
