Hodson Trust Scholarship (Johns Hopkins University)

The Hodson Trust Scholarship is Johns Hopkins' premier merit award for incoming first-year students, chosen for academic and personal achievement, leadership, and contribution beyond the classroom. It covers a significant portion of tuition — JHU doesn't publish an exact dollar figure — and comes with a built-in cohort: peer mentorship, leadership opportunities through the Hodson Scholars Leadership Team, and Baltimore community service projects. There's no separate application; every student who applies for undergraduate admission is automatically considered. Renewal requires keeping a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.
