Question: can international students benefit from the Johns Hopkins University scholarships as you reported on the $1 billion Bloomberg donation?
My response: We all benefitted, and I do assume that remains the case; check the school website for the latest update. For the engineering PhD, if Johns Hopkins University admits you for a PhD program in engineering, it will have 100% funding for you. They will pay about $60,000 of your yearly tuition and pay you about $37,000 stipend annually. As you progress in the program, you can even get more scholarships as they have tons of money there.
So, there is no harm if you want to take a chance. It is a top-ten university in the United States, and is the world’s finest medical school. The probability of getting a job before graduation is close to 99.99% as recruiters flood the campus hiring students.

Yet, it is super selective. When I applied for my electrical computer engineering PhD program, more than 900 applied; they picked 15 students. So, you have to be on top of your game; I entered with a GRE Quantitative 800/800 and a CGPA of 4.00/4.00 from my Master’s degree.
Understand that Johns Hopkins does not have any course requirement for the PhD program. In other words, no one will tell you that you have to take 180 credits or whatever. The program is designed such that a huge problem is assigned to you, and you have to solve it! You have to decide on courses you will take; I took courses in medical school, Math, and English departments besides the engineering ones. As I write, I am not even sure there is a CGPA for PhD students; the focus is on solving the world’s greatest problems and not grades. During my time, I invented a technology on robotics for medical and space applications and the University patented it for me. In 2017, we licensed some rights to the United States Government.
What again….on the inmails. Check the school website. Hope my context helps. If you can go for it; it is the world’s finest university on how it develops scholars. Good luck
