We’re pleased to announce that the winner of this year’s QS Undergraduate Scholarship is Zara Salman. The scholarship, first awarded in 2017, awards up to US$10,000 to one student starting their first year of a bachelor’s degree at any QS-ranked university.
We caught up with Zara to find out more about her study plans and to learn her tips for a successful scholarship application.
What are you planning to study, and why did you choose the university you’ve applied to?
I am planning to obtain a joint degree in political science and economics at the University of Chicago. I chose the University of Chicago because of the school’s unique approach to learning, ranging from their socratic teaching style, to the use of primary texts in lieu of textbooks in classes.
Moreover, the University of Chicago offers many resources for career planning that will open up avenues for my future.
