How to Apply

The application for the Howard Scholar at McCourt program for the 2023-2024 academic year is still open. We look forward to announcing the recipient in April 15, 2023.

Applicants should follow McCourt’s standard admissions process and must apply by the March 1 final deadline to be considered for the Howard Scholar program. Applicants do not need to apply separately for the Howard Scholar award. All admitted students/alumni from Howard University will be considered.
