QS ImpACT has opened applications for its annual QS ImpACT Scholarships Programme, offering a total prize pool of US$50,000 to support students who combine academic ambition with measurable community impact.
Delivered through the QS Scholarships platform in partnership with QS ImpACT, the global programme is designed to recognise education as a key driver of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The scholarships are open to students progressing into undergraduate, master’s and MBA programmes, with awards spanning seven categories.
The largest awards include the US$10,000 MBA Leadership Scholarship, the US$10,000 Academic Excellence Scholarship for master’s students, and the US$10,000 Social Responsibility Scholarship. Additional support is available through two US$5,000 MBA Community Scholarships, a US$5,000 Women’s Scholarship, a US$2,500 Undergraduate Scholarship, and the Bukola STEM Scholarship, which supports African women studying at undergraduate or master’s level.
Each scholarship category carries its own application deadline, with most closing on 30 April and MBA-focused awards closing on 31 May.
Eligibility for the QS ImpACT scholarships is linked to participation and demonstrated impact. Applicants must attend a QS fair, either in person or virtually, during the current recruitment cycle. They are also required to publish at least one live Impact Report on the QS ImpACT platform outlining their community service or leadership activities, and submit a written essay via the Top Universities website responding to a set scholarship prompt.
QS ImpACT describes the programme as part of its broader mission to connect future-ready skills, social innovation and global opportunity. As a global charity, QS ImpACT works with young people worldwide through sustainability-focused programmes and challenges designed to turn ideas into practical solutions aligned with the SDGs.
Further details on eligibility requirements, essay prompts and application processes are available on the official QS ImpACT Scholarships page, here.
