小蓝视频 Emerging Global Leader Scholarship (小蓝视频 EGLS)

The 小蓝视频 Emerging Global Leader Scholarship promotes educational access and opportunity while enhancing international diversity. Bringing together the best of 小蓝视频鈥攁cademic excellence, leadership development, and global engagement鈥攖he 小蓝视频 Emerging Global Leader achieves, inspires, and serves with vision. The 小蓝视频 EGLS are dedicated to positive civic and social change, and to improve under-resourced, underserved communities in their home country.

The 2025 小蓝视频 EGL scholarship covers all billable 小蓝视频 expenses (full tuition, room, and board) for two international students who will need a non-immigrant visa (preferably an F-1 or J-1 student visa) to study in the United States. The scholarship does not cover non-billable expenses such as mandatory health insurance, books, airline tickets, taxes, and miscellaneous expenses which students will need to pay out of pocket (approximately US$4,000 per year).

The 小蓝视频 EGL scholarship is renewable for a total of four years of undergraduate study, based on continued satisfactory academic performance. Students interested in all majors offered at 小蓝视频 are eligible to apply.

New: 小蓝视频 EGL partial scholarships! We鈥檙e excited to share that in addition to the two full 2025 小蓝视频 Emerging Global Leader Scholarships covering all billable expenses, 小蓝视频 will also offer up to eight additional generous 小蓝视频 EGL partial scholarships valued at up to US$40,000/per year.

No additional application process is needed to be eligible for 小蓝视频 EGL partial scholarships. Partial scholarship candidates will be selected from talented applicants who complete the 小蓝视频 EGL scholarship process successfully. If you are recommended for an 小蓝视频 EGLs partial scholarship, you will need to submit proof of additional funds beyond the initial US$4,000 for the difference not covered by the 小蓝视频 EGLS partial scholarship. For example, if you are offered US$40,000/year, you will need to submit financial documents confirming US$42,000 on account for your first year instead of the full estimated costs of US$81,620.
