Essay brief
The administration and allocation of Board of Trustees scholarships shall adhere to a rigorous internal process designed to ensure transparency, equity, and alignment with institutional goals. The process mandates that scholarship applications are first subjected to a preliminary verification phase conducted by the Scholarships Office to confirm eligibility criteria compliance, including academic standing, enrollment status, and residency requirements.
Subsequently, the applications are forwarded to the relevant academic departments for academic assessment and recommendations based on merit, research potential, and program alignment. The compiled recommendations are then reviewed by the Scholarship Committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, which is responsible for the final selection and approval of recipients.
Throughout this procedure, all documentation and decisions are systematically recorded to facilitate auditability and accountability. Any conflicts of interest among committee members must be disclosed and managed according to institutional governance policies. Furthermore, the process incorporates mechanisms for appeal and reconsideration to uphold fairness.
Disbursement of scholarships follows formal approval, with coordination between the Financial Affairs and Student Affairs departments to ensure timely and accurate allocation of funds. The Board of Trustees scholarships, by virtue of their prestige and limited availability, are managed with the utmost diligence to uphold the institution's commitment to academic excellence and equitable opportunity.

What is the difference between institution-funded and QS ImpACT scholarships?
Institution-funded scholarships are exclusively backed by the institution itself. This implies that scholarship recipients need to secure acceptance for their studies at the said institution in order to qualify. It's essential to note that each scholarship comes with its own set of eligibility criteria and prerequisites. On the other hand, QS ImpACT Scholarships mark a collaborative effort between the ImpACT charity organization and QS. These scholarships present a unique advantage – they allow candidates to be considered regardless of the institution they choose for their studies, as long as they meet the appropriate study-level requirements. To delve deeper into the eligibility criteria associated with these scholarships, we invite you to explore the relevant scholarship details.
Can I apply for more than one scholarship?
Yes, you can apply for as many scholarships as you wish. Just make sure that you meet the eligibility criteria and follow the application process for each.
Who evaluates my application and who will announce the winner?
Scholarships by institutions are managed by the school, university or collage offering the scholarship and the winner will also be announced by them. QS ImpACT Scholarships are managed by us here at QS and we’ll announce the winner.
