Imperial College London has announced a scholarship programme for talented Master's scholars in India over the next three years. Imperial College is a renowned UK university, and through this initiative, the Future Leaders Scholarship programme, they will support an equal number of male and female scholars. The scholarship programme is an excellent opportunity for Indian students to receive financial support and access to a world-class education at one of the best universities in the UK. This announcement is made following the visit of Minister of Science and Technology Dr Jitendra Singh to the campus earlier this year. "We are delighted to launch our biggest-ever scholarship programme for Indian scientists, reaffirming our commitment to attract the very best students from all backgrounds and support them to flourish", said Professor Peter Haynes, vice-provost at Imperial College London.

"The Future Leaders Scholarship will build a pathway for the most talented students in India to deepen their studies and expand their experiences at one of the world's top universities", he said. The university has partnered with the UK government's Chevening Scholarships programme. This partnership will fund three more Master's scholars from India over the next three years. The scholarship will cover the total cost of tuition and living expenses for those pursuing Master's programmes in engineering, natural sciences, business and medical research.

Professor Haynes, added, "Our longstanding partnership with the prestigious Chevening Scholarships programme is a vital collaboration that helps us to open the doors of opportunity to exceptional students from India". The announcements came during a university team visit to the British Council in New Delhi, attended by alumni and prospective students. "As one of the top-ranking institutions in the world, Imperial's new scholarships have created an opportunity for aspiring and talented young Indians to study in the UK and get access to a world-class education", said Alison Barrett MBE, Director India, British Council.
