Eligibility criteria

Imperial College Business School is proud to be a global organisation with students from all over the world. Currently, students from Black or mixed black backgrounds are underrepresented in our student cohort and we're working to improve this. To encourage this further, we are offering scholarships to students from Black or mixed black backgrounds from all regions, who can demonstrate their leadership potential and want to make a positive contribution to the Imperial community.

The Black Future Leaders Scholarship is available to applicants demonstrating an outstanding track record of leadership and/or leadership potential. Self-identification of ethnicity from a Black or mixed background (including Black African or Black Caribbean and any other mixed black background) is also a requirement.

Application process

The Black Future Leaders Scholarship is available to applicants demonstrating an outstanding track record of leadership and/or leadership potential. Self-identification of ethnicity from a Black or mixed background (including Black African or Black Caribbean and any other mixed black background) is also a requirement.

Requirements

• An excellent academic background
• A strong track record of leadership and/or leadership potential (this may include during your studies, work experience and internships, and/or within your community)
• The overall strength of your application and interview performance, including references.
• How to apply
• Candidates who submit their application for an MSc programme before the scholarship submission round advertised below and receive an offer for the programme will be eligible to apply for this scholarship.

Awards will be assessed from the initial deadline onwards, and you are therefore encouraged to submit your application as early as possible in order to maximise your chance of success. Awards may not be granted following every deadline, as all scholarships in this category may have been awarded in a previous round, or there may be insufficient eligible candidates in a round.

A video assessment is required for this scholarship. Further details will be communicated once you have received an offer for the programme.
