2017/2018 Clark University Global Scholars Program for International Students

About Clark University Global Scholars Programme for International Students

The Global Scholars Program builds on Clark University’s long-standing commitment to provide a challenging education with a global focus. The Clark Univeristy Global Scholars Program (GSP) is a special program for incoming international students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in their home communities before attending Clark. Global scholars receive guidance and opportunities to build on their leadership skills so they can make a difference at Clark, in the Worcester area, and in the global community.
