Hello everyone, I am Nishant acharya from Nepal. I am very new to this forum. I am planning to apply scholarship for Graduate jeweler course from GIA.

If any one have any idea regarding scholarship process or if anyone have received the scholarship before it would be a great help.

Thank you.

I'm hoping Path914 sees this. Perfect person to give you direction.

Hi Nishant,

It's good timing for your question as the Graduate Jeweler program has just recently been relaunched after a complete revision and update.

For more info: https://www.gia.edu/gem-education/progr ... te-jeweler

Regarding scholarships, although you would not be eligible for US Federal Financial Aid, you are likely eligible for the GIA-administered scholarships and the spring application cycle starts very soon. You can apply between March 1-31 with information available here:
https://www.gia.edu/gem-education-financial-aid

The process to apply for a scholarship is very straight forward, you simply fill out the necessary documentation, indicate which program and campus you intended to attend and submit. GIA offers millions of dollars in scholarships annually, so I would encourage you to apply. If you have any additional questions, the financial aid team is happy to help and can be reached through the contact page: https://www.gia.edu/contactus or by phone at +1 800 421 7250 +1 760 603 4131.

I hope that is helpful!

Best regards,
Paul

hello Path914,

Do you know when will they announce scholarship result generally?
They said it would take upto 7 weeks from the deadline to review the application.

Thank you.

The best estimate would be early June. It takes some time for all of the processing and reviews to be completed, so a specific date is hard to provide. I would start keeping an eye on your email inbox the first week of next month. Good luck!
