Rangel, Payne, and Pickering Fellowships

The Global Human Development Program’s commitment to Rangel, Pickering, and Payne Fellows is as follows:

  • The Global Human Development Program will offer scholarships to all Rangel, Pickering, and Payne Fellows admitted to the program in the amount equal to the difference between the costs covered by the Fellowship and the full cost of tuition. GHD will also cover all mandatory fees, including health insurance.
  • Scholarships will be awarded for the first year of study and are renewable at the same amount for the second year of study, contingent upon satisfactory academic progress.ย To retain the first-year scholarship, students must have a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point in coursework toward the GHD degree at the end of the first year.
  • The GHD Program will waive the application fee for Payne, Pickering, and Rangel Fellows and finalists.
