About This Opportunity

The Beacon Scholarship is a prestigious undergraduate scholarship offered in partnership between Imperial College London and Beacon. The scholarship is designed to support exceptional students from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, or South Africa (from previously disadvantaged communities) who demonstrate significant financial need and leadership potential. The scholarship covers full tuition fees for three-year or four-year undergraduate programmes in the faculties of Engineering, Natural Sciences, or the Imperial College Business School. Recipients must demonstrate the potential to become leaders in their chosen fields and contribute to the future development of their home countries. The scholarship aims to support talented individuals who would otherwise be unable to afford studying at Imperial College London.
