The British Council is inviting applications for the 11th edition of the Study UK Alumni Awards programme. Interested candidates can check details on the application, categories, and eligibility criteria at study-uk.britishcouncil.org/alumni-awards. The last date to submit applications is October 21.

The awards seek to honour leaders who have leveraged their UK education to make significant contributions to their communities, industries and countries.

The Study UK Alumni Awards feature four categories to spotlight achievements and impact in various fields – science and sustainability, culture and creativity, social action and business and innovation.

Eligible applicants will have the opportunity to compete on both the global and national stages of the alumni awards. The global alumni award recipients will gain a chance to boost their international profiles, expand their professional networks, and enrich their careers with a professional networking visit to the UK. India will also be hosting a national ceremony to honour their finalists.

The finalists and winners of India awards will be announced in March 2025 whereas, the global winners will be declared in July 2025 and will be celebrated through a digital campaign highlighting their remarkable stories and successes.

Last year, over 1,500 applications were received from UK alumni residing in nearly 100 countries. These applicants represented more than 130 higher education institutions located throughout the UK.
