Princeton Class of 2025 members Diya Kraybill, Issa Mudashiru and James Zhang have been named Schwarzman Scholars and will attend a one-year, fully funded master’s degree program in global affairs at Tsinghua University in Beijing. 

The Princeton winners are among 150 Schwarzman Scholars representing 38 countries and 105 universities, according to the scholarship announcement. “This year’s selected Scholars are keenly interested in learning about China and broadening their understanding of global affairs, which are both now more important than ever,” said Stephen A. Schwarzman, founding trustee of Schwarzman Scholars, in the announcement. 

The Schwarzman Scholar Class of 2025-26 was selected from a pool of nearly 5,000 candidates worldwide. The scholars will begin their studies in August.
