Diversity and Inclusion
Johns Hopkins University and the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) are deeply committed to the dignity and equality of all persons—inclusive of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical ability, religion, military status, or political beliefs.
By delivering thought-provoking programming in collaboration with the school's Diversity Council and Student Diversity Coalition, elevating new perspectives on campus, and employing recruitment strategies aimed at increasing the diversity of faculty, staff, and students, Johns Hopkins SAIS aims to cultivate a community where everyone feels welcome and valued.
Fostering an environment of respect and inclusion is central to the mission of the school and its commitment to celebrating the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and lifestyles of its students, faculty, and staff.
Roadmap on Diversity
The JHU Roadmap on Diversity and Inclusion was drafted to capture the university’s priorities and ambitions, and to state in explicit and concrete terms its institutional commitments in this area. The document was revised with input from the university community and approved by the university board of trustees.

Support & Initiatives for Students
Mentorship Program
Our team of global careers and admissions professionals facilitate opportunities for current students to connect with alumni mentors who can contribute to their professional and personal development. This effort offers the opportunity to network and develop contacts, access industry information, and gain valuable insights from experienced and successful alumni.
International Students
Considered the best institution to seek a graduate degree in international affairs, Johns Hopkins SAIS welcomes students, scholars, researchers, staff, and faculty from all over the world. We believe a variety of perspectives contributes to a dynamic and engaging learning environment.
Scholarship Opportunities
To demonstrate our commitment to the values of diversity and inclusion, we offer a broad array of scholarship and financial aid opportunities for students from underrepresented groups.
We believe that fostering a community inclusive of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical ability, religion, military status, or political beliefs strengthens and broadens the learning experience for all.
