Imperial College London has launched its biggest-ever scholarship programme to support Indian scientists. The scholarship – which will cover the full cost of tuition and living expenses – will be for students studying Master’s programmes in engineering, natural sciences, business and medical research.
The Future Leaders Scholarship programme will support 30 of India’s most talented Master’s students over the next three years. To nurture the full capacity of the next generation of science leaders, the fund will support equal numbers of men and women scholars. The programme is Imperial’s most significant funding commitment for Indian students.
All students who have submitted an application to study at Imperial and receive an offer to study by 11 May 2024 will be considered for the Future Leaders Scholarship. For the Imperial College London-Chevening Scholarship, the deadline for this year’s applications is November 7, 2023.
Imperial has a growing and thriving community of Indian students, alumni and researchers. There are now more than 800 Indian students based at the campus in London and there are more than 3,000 Indian alumni who remain close friends of Imperial and provide mentoring and support for students. Former alumni include the late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
Imperial student, Devina Gupta (MRes Nanomaterials), said: “As an Indian student at Imperial, my time here has been profoundly transformative. I urge women to consider STEM courses, where their contributions can drive innovation and progress in today’s dynamic world. I came to Imperial to become a better researcher and am leaving with connections, skills and experiences that have opened a world full of opportunities for me.”
