A select group of research universities from outside the United States are partners with the McDonnell International Scholars Academy.
Universities that become partners in the Academy are committed to excellence in education and research, and the importance of international collaboration. They promote the Academy and its programs to talented students who have an interest in pursuing graduate or professional education in the United States and assist them in learning how the Academy can enhance their education at Washington University in St. Louis.
In turn, Washington University is committed to having at least one Scholar from each university partner in residence at all times and provides opportunities, such as the McDonnell Academy Symposia and annual visits, to continue their engagement with their alma mater which further strengthens the Scholars’ network and the partnership.
