If successful, your offer letter will confirm your scholarship. If you accept, the award will be applied automatically to your tuition fees.
Please note that these scholarships are only available to self-funded applicants.
We’re delighted to announce that Valery Salas has won this year’s QS ImpACT Women’s Scholarship and has commenced an MSc in Sustainability, Enterprise and the Environment degree at The University of Oxford, UK.
We catch up with a previous winner of a QS ImpACT scholarship from 2022, Shaan Kumar, to learn about how the scholarship made their study abroad dreams possible.
In a landmark partnership, the QS Scholarships platform merged with ImpACT charity organization in 2020, culminating in a synergy of resources that now manifests as QS ImpACT Scholarships.
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.
What if a scholarship is not exclusive?
It means that the scholarship is advertised on other platforms and websites as well, and so are available to a wider audience. You don’t need to attend one of our events (Discover Master's, Discover MBA, Connect Masters, Connect MBA, STEM, etc.) to apply (but we’d love to see you anyway).
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.
