Scholarships at Pace University (in partnership with Kaplan International)
International undergraduate students who successfully complete the Global Pathways program at Pace University's New York City campus and progress into a degree program at the Westchester campus can receive an additional tuition discount of up to $7,000, on top of any merit scholarship already awarded.

All undergraduate applicants to Pace University, including students entering via the Kaplan International Pathways Global Pathways program, are automatically considered for a partial-tuition, merit-based scholarship at the point of admission — no separate application is required.
