QS Academic Excellence Scholarship: 2017 Winner
By Craig OCallaghan
Updated March 21, 2018 Updated March 21, 2018We're delighted to announce that Juliette Perche is the winner of this year’s QS Academic Excellence Scholarship.
The scholarship is awarded to support one master’s or PhD student anywhere in the world. Awarded annually, the QS Academic Excellence Scholarship is worth US$10,000, providing support for a student embarking on a master’s or PhD course anywhere in the world. Applicants are assessed based on their academic achievements to date, as well as the potential they show to make a contribution within academia or another area.
Currently studying in Paris, Juliette plans to specialize in environmental economics at master’s level at the London School of Economics next year.
Although she’s visited London a few times, Juliette says she doesn’t know the UK capital that well and is looking forward to the wide range of cultural activities on offer. She says: “I’m really looking forward to meeting people from all backgrounds who share my interests and desire to work for a sustainable future. Being at LSE will give me the opportunity to attend numerous fascinating conferences and meet great scholars in my study area.”
Juliette had initially planned to rely upon a student loan and a part-time job to fund her MSc in London but can now afford to take out a smaller loan and dedicate more time to her studies and getting involved in LSE’s academic circles, attending conferences and participating in student groups.
Advice for other applicants
“Always try your best and never lose hope. If you’re clear about what got you this far and what your career and academic motivations are then all should go well. Even if you don’t think you have a chance, it’s worth applying and seeing what happens. I honestly didn’t believe I would be accepted into LSE or this scholarship.”
