University of Pennsylvania
The University of Pennsylvania School of Arts and
Sciences forms the foundation of the scholarly
excellence that has established Penn as one of the
world's leading research universities. We teach
students across all 12 Penn schools, and our academic
departments span the reach from anthropology and
biology to sociology and South Asian studies.
The educational experience offered by Penn Arts & Sciences is likewise recognized for its excellence.
The School's three educational divisions fulfill different missions, united by a broader commitment
to providing our students with an unrivaled education in the liberal arts. The College of Arts and
Sciences is the academic home of the majority of Penn undergraduates and provides 60 percent of
the courses taken by students in Penn's undergraduate professional schools. The Graduate Division
offers doctoral training to over 1,300 candidates in more than 30 graduate programs. And the College
of Liberal and Professional Studies provides a range of educational opportunities for lifelong learners
and working professionals.

Luckily there are a number of great graduate student scholarships available! So whether you are
a masters student or a doctoral student you can receive funding to help pay for college (and also
eliminate your student debt burden).

Having a good test score – GRE, GMAT, IELTS, TOEFL – will always increase your chances of
getting a scholarship. If you are one of those students who doesn't perform well in standardized tests,
but earned a great GPA in your undergraduate degree, you still have a decent shot at scholarships.
It's up to a scholarship provider what the qualification criteria is for each scholarship. One of the
most common grade point average requirements is a 3.0 average. (Again, every scholarship provider
is different and it's up to them to set their eligibility criteria, not us.)
