United Kingdom’s Imperial College has announced a new scholarship programme for Indian Masters students. Under this Future Leaders Scholarship programme, thirty Indian students will get financial support from the college over the next three years. Half of the scholarships are reserved for women under this programme.

According to the release, the scholarships would be available to students enrolled in MSc programmes at Imperial College’s faculties of engineering, natural sciences, medicine, and business school.

Vice-Provost for Education and Student Experience at Imperial, Professor Peter Haynes, said that the scholarship programme is a real priority for Imperial to continue to facilitate and support two-way mobility between India and the UK.

“I hope that in the future we will be able to welcome many more Indian students, and I am delighted to announce that Imperial is investing slightly over 400,000 pounds in scholarships for India’s future STEM-B leaders. Over the next three years, 30 merit-based scholarships will be offered; the first application period will open during the upcoming academic year,” he added.

He also noted that at least 50 percent of these esteemed “Future Leaders” scholarships would be set aside for female students. The professor intended to continue collaborating to build on the achievement and that Imperial might lead the way in developing ties between the UK and India in the ten years that followed.

The Imperial College also disclosed a fresh collaboration with Chevening for Indian scholars. Scholars with the greatest potential to influence Indian leadership, policy, and opinion will be eligible for funding. According to the release, the Chevening scholarship award would cover tuition costs and include a monthly stipend.

The information was released following Union Minister of Science and Technology Jitendra Singh’s visit to the UK’s Imperial College to speak with scholars and students.

Union Minister of India spoke with several of Imperial’s Indian students and scholars during his visit to the college and urged them to fulfil their potential. He also emphasised the quick scientific advancements being made in India, particularly in some disciplines, and the expansion of Indian startups.

According to the information, the minister also visited Imperial’s facilities and learned about Imperial’s expanding research collaborations with India while accompanied by Professor Ajay Kumar Sood, the principal scientific advisor to the Union government, and other scientists and officials.
