Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore Maryland. . .

The Johns Hopkins University, founded in 1876, was the first university in the Western Hemisphere based on the European research institution, with a mission both to teach and to advance human knowledge through discovery. Its establishment revolutionized U.S. higher education; today, it remains a world leader in education, research and patient care.

Today, the university enrolls nearly 20,000 full-time and part-time students on three major campuses in Baltimore, one in Washington, D.C., one in Montgomery County, Md., and facilities throughout the Baltimore-Washington area and in China and Italy.

Johns Hopkins University offers need-based scholarships to undergraduate international students. Approximately 10% of the incoming international freshmen received need-based scholarships. The average scholarship is $25,000, but individual amounts can be more or less, depending on the financial need of the student. Because funds are limited, Johns Hopkins University takes need for financial aid into consideration when making the Admissions decision. If an applicant applies for financial aid and is determined to have financial need, Johns Hopkins University will offer admission to that student only if funds are available to meet that student's financial need.

In many cases, graduate students receive tuition and stipend support through their academic department. Students should contact their academic department directly for more information.

Private loans are available for international graduate students. Most of the lenders require a co-signer who is a U.S. citizen. Refer to the Loan section of this website for more information on private loans.
