British Council is seeking applications for its Alumni Awards 2017-18 in order to celebrate the outstanding achievements of alumni and showcase the impact and value of a UK higher education.

Award winners and finalists are leaders in their fields who have used their experience of studying at a UK university to make a positive contribution to their communities, professions and countries.

Benefits

• Finalists and winners at all levels (national, regional and global) will benefit from their global profile being made more visible through press and publicity opportunities, and building their professional networks.
• The three Global Alumni Award winners will be invited to the UK for a professional networking opportunity in summer 2018.

• Are currently residing in any country outside of the UK;

• Impact: evidence of tangible impact, and scale of impact, of your work (inspired by your UK education) in your profession/community/society.
• UK Influence: evidence of how your UK education has played a key influence in your success and impact.
