Recognising the achievement of overseas alumni

The British Council,  in partnership with the University of Exeter, is launching the Education UK Alumni Awards programme which will be piloted in India, mainland China and the US.

The University of Exeter and the British Council are excited to announce the launch the first ‘Education UK Alumni Awards’. The awards will celebrate the value of UK higher education and the contribution and impact this experience has had on individuals and their communities.

We have been working in partnership with the British Council to create an awards programme which will recognise and honour the outstanding achievements made by international alumni from UK universities. The award programme will be piloted in mainland China, USA and India, and is an opportunity for alumni to be recognised for their professional success by the British Council and UK Government.

Award categories are: Professional Achievement, Entrepreneurial and Social Impact.

To be eligible to apply alumni must

  • have been a resident of India, mainland China or the USA at the time of applying to study as an international student
  • have returned back to that country
  • be an alum of a UK university
  • have graduated in the last 10 years

Alumni can apply or be nominated, and there is no limit to the number of alumni you can nominate.

The Education UK Alumni Awards 2015 will be open for applications on Monday 22 September 2014 until Monday 24 November 2014.

The website and application portal can be found here: www.britishcouncil.org/education-uk-awards.
