A core mission of the McDonnell International Scholars Academy is to develop future global leaders.

We pursue this by recruiting outstanding graduates of partner institutions from around the world for Ph.D. or professional degree programs at Washington University in St. Louis.

It is more than academic talent alone that we seek, however. We also seek McDonnell Academy Scholars who have an interest in broader societal issues, and once they are here, we provide them with opportunities to develop their leadership skills. These opportunities include experiencing the cultural and political life of America, learning about other societies, and meeting major figures from business, government, academia, and the nonprofit sector.
