For the 2023–2024 application phase of The Gates Scholarship (TGS) Program, which is intended for a certain group of domestic and international students planning to study in the United States, applications are presently being accepted from qualified candidates. Seniors in high school who come from low-income families are eligible for this scholarship.
Outstanding minority high school graduates from low-income families are eligible for The Gates prize (TGS), a highly selective, last-dollar prize. The scholarship is given out annually to outstanding student leaders with the goal of assisting them in reaching their full potential.
Scholars will receive funding for the full cost of attendance that is not already covered by other financial aid and the expected family contribution, as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), or the methodology used by a Scholar’s college or university.
Cost of attendance includes tuition, fees, room, board, books, and transportation, and may include other personal costs.
