Endowment Scholarships
Scholarships Available at GIA London
In 2007 for the first time in GIA's history, the GIA Board of Governors created scholarships for students wishing to study at GIA Campuses outside the US. This was in response to the increasing need for gemmological education worldwide.
Since then several deserving students have completed GIA's prestigious diplomas at the London Campus through a GIA Scholarship. We are very proud that some of these funds are accessible to candidates wanting to study at GIA London.
Outside the U.S., GIA-administered scholarships are available for select International locations for non-U.S. citizens living outside the U.S. The scholarship application period is June 15 to October 30 of each year. Scholarships are awarded for new enrollments for the following year.
Please read the details for each scholarship to learn more about stipulations and awards.
