Global awards are highly-competitive, merit-based opportunities that are conducted at a national or international level.
Some of the best-known global awards include the Rhodes Scholarship, Fulbright Scholarship, and Gates-Cambridge Scholarship fund further study after your NYU Abu Dhabi education.
There are others, like the Dalai Lama Fellows, Future Global Leaders Fellowship, and Clinton Global Initiative - University, that are more experiential in nature, and which accept applications from students while they are enrolled at NYUAD.
NYUAD students pursue globally renowned, highly competitive, merit-based awards en route to further study.
Our graduates have received 17 Rhodes Scholarships; 7 Schwarzman Scholarships; 1 Al Ghurair Scholarship; 10 Fulbright Scholarships; 1 Future Global Leader Award; 6 Global Academic Fellowships (GAF); 5 Critical Language Scholarships (CLS); 5 Dalai Lama Fellowships; 12 Erasmus Mundus Scholarships; 1 Luce Scholarship; 1 National Science Foundation Scholarships (NSF); 7 Yenching Academy Scholarships; 1 Center for Arabic Study Abroad Scholarship (CASA); 12 Clinton Global Initiative - University Scholarships (CGIU).
The goal is to help students identify passions, interests, and future paths. Pursuing the right global awards competitions will help achieve those goals.
The CDC offers an active, hands-on, individualized approach to advising students and alumni who are applying for global awards. Working 1-to-1 with students to determine whether a given award is right for them, and helping at every stage of the application process.
The emphasis is not on the outcome of the global award competition, but on the process of applying. There are significant and important benefits from going through the process of applying for a global award, whether or not students are selected to receive such an honor. These may include greater self-knowledge, a holistic vision for life after graduation, incredible writing samples, and an ability to tell your story in a compelling way.
