The Vice Chancellor’s Global Impact and Leadership Scholarship is an application-based scholarship open to Overseas fee status applicants who have been offered a place to study on a postgraduate taught course with UEA. It is designed to reward those who can clearly and concisely explain how studying here at UEA will help them to make an outstanding contribution to their chosen field of study and become a global leader.

ELIGIBILITY:

Country / Region: International, Asia, Africa, South America, Middle East, North America, Australia, EU, and Europe

Type of Course: Postgraduate Taught

Applications to the 2026 Vice Chancellor’s Global Impact and Leadership Scholarship are to be submitted in written format. They would like you to answer the following three questions.

Why did you select UEA and apply for your chosen course?

How will your chosen course equip you to achieve your future career and leadership ambitions?

How will the knowledge and skills you will gain from your course equip you to become a global leader?

Each answer should be limited to 200 words.

When applying for this scholarship, you must already be in possession of a conditional or unconditional offer for an eligible postgraduate taught course starting at UEA in September 2026. You should have achieved or be expecting to achieve at least a 2:1, or equivalent, in your undergraduate degree to be eligible.

This scholarship cannot be held in addition to any other UEA scholarship except for the International Early Payment Award. If you are eligible for another UEA scholarship of higher value, this will automatically replace this scholarship. Students receiving sponsorship covering full fees by an outside body or government organisation are not eligible for this scholarship. Government or educational loans that require repayment do not affect eligibility.

BENEFIT:

Applications of a high quality will be offered £10,000 as a tuition fee discount. Successful applicants will be informed shortly after each panel. Where your programme of study is two years in length, the scholarship will be offered for the first year only.

EISNER FOUNDATION PRIZE FELLOWSHIP

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: May 10, 2026

LOCATION: USA

The Eisner Prize evolved into the Eisner Prize Fellowship to provide financial resources, networking opportunities, and the prestige of the Eisner Prize to leaders with new ideas and perspectives that will propel the field forward. The application for the 2026-27 cycle will be open April 13-May 10. Register for the Showcase and Info Session here.

ELIGIBILITY:

The Eisner Prize Fellowship application is open to anyone in the United States working to innovate in the area of intergenerational connection. People of color and those working with historically marginalized communities are particularly encouraged to apply.

Please note that the Fellowship is for individuals and not intended to serve as a grantmaking program for nonprofits. While nonprofit staff may apply and execute their project under their organization’s umbrella, the project proposed should be a new effort developed and executed by the Fellow. Co-leadership teams may apply, but since the application is set up for individuals, applicant teams must select one person as the main contact. The award funds will remain the same for each fellowship, even if awarded to a team.

Fellows typically convene in July to begin their Fellowship. In the months following, the cohort will regularly meet over Zoom to share their progress and learn from experts and each other. Meeting content and frequency will be tailored to and co-created with the cohort.

Fellows will also occasionally check in individually with the Eisner Foundation. Each Fellow is asked to contribute a short blog post for The Eisner Foundation’s blog at some point during the Fellowship.

BENEFIT:

The Fellowship provides $50,000 total, split as follows:

$10,000 stipend to the Fellow to be used however they wish; it should be disbursed in addition to the Fellow’s salary, not in partial replacement of it

$40,000 for project execution to support new, clearly defined intergenerational projects, and ideally will exclude overhead costs
