Location is cool, but it could be better. There is much renovation going on so the city is making improvements for the GA Avenue area. No, its not ghetto like folks make it seem.

Im not too sure about the international scholarships...those students may choose to apply for regular student scholarships or receive funding via the Office of International Student Services. The lowest GPA needed for a scholarship through Howard for freshmen is a 3.0

It is not in the "ghetto." I have actually found that some the students ..... "exaggerate" about the conditions. It's definitely urban.

I hear that it may difficult for international students to receive scholarships and the best bet is to apply early. I know of one guy (from Trinidad) who did not get a scholarship the first year he applied...so he waited a year and then applied again and was awarded one.
