About this opportunity
Opportunity Overview
Emory University's Scholar Programs for Fall 2027 admission are open to exceptional first-year applicants from any country. Selected students receive partial to full merit-based funding for their undergraduate studies. You can apply through either Emory College of Arts and Sciences or Oxford College, the university's two undergraduate divisions. Emory sits in Atlanta, Georgia, a city with a lower cost of living than New York or San Francisco. Monthly expenses for students typically run $1,200 to $2,200, depending on housing, meal plans, and health insurance. The climate is subtropical, with mild winters and hot, humid summers. Atlanta itself is a major business and cultural hub, home to Fortune 500 companies, a busy airport, and a large international community. Emory University is a private research institution founded in 1836. It enrolls roughly 15,000 students across nine schools and divisions, with about 7,000 undergraduates. The university is known for strong programs in the liberal arts, sciences, and health fields, and it operates the Emory Healthcare system, the largest in Georgia. Its campus features a mix of historic and modern buildings, including the Michael C. Carlos Museum and extensive research facilities. International students on F-1 visas can work up to 20 hours per week on campus during the academic year. After completing a year of study, they may apply for CPT or OPT to take on off-campus internships and training in their field. The university also runs language support and cultural adaptation programs for incoming international students.
