Completed in 2016, it hosts recipients of the Schwarzman Scholars award,[1] an international scholarship program designed to educate the next generation of global leaders.[2][3][4] The college was designed by the Driehaus Prize winner Robert A.M.

College and purpose
Mission
The college was founded to provide a residential college experience for Schwarzman Scholars. Students at the college study a one-year Master’s Degree in Public Policy, International Relations, Economics & Business at Tsinghua University. During this time, the scholars live inside the Schwarzman College building.[6]
Scholarship
Annually, 100-200 Schwarzman Scholars are chosen through a competitive selection process. Approximately 45% of the participants come from the U.S., 20% from China and 35% from the rest of the world. Students apply directly to the program and do not require a nomination from their university.[7]
