Grad2Grad is an opportunity for current GW undergraduate students to transition straight into graduate studies after earning their bachelor's degree.

Qualified candidates receive a 10% tuition reduction while pursuing an eligible GW master's degree or graduate certificate. Most participating programs also waive standardized tests such as the GRE.


Eligibility

If you plan to complete or already finished your degree in 2024 or 2025, you qualify for the Grad2Grad program as long as you immediately enroll in a graduate program (master's or graduate certificate program).

If you graduated in 2024 you must have enrolled no later than Spring 2025 and if you are graduating in 2025 you must enroll no later than Spring 2026. 

Note: To maintain eligibility, you must be continuously enrolled for all semesters until the degree is earned. Summer registration is allowed but not required.
