About the Scholarship

Drake University adds $5,000 a year for students who already hold a Bahamian government scholarship, on top of whatever else Drake awards them.

It turns on holding that external award rather than on merit or need, which is why no basis is recorded here. Renewal needs only a 2.0 grade average.

Note the ceiling above it: Drake caps combined aid for international students at 40 per cent of the total cost of attendance, so no full ride exists there regardless of how awards stack.

What It Covers

  • Tuition

The university caps combined aid for international students at 40 per cent of the total cost of attendance through its international student grant, so no full ride exists there.
