QS World Merit Social Responsibility Scholarship: 2022 winner
We’re pleased to announce the winner of the 2022 QS Social Responsibility Scholarship is Illustrious Amaewhule Ewhorlu. This scholarship, valued at $10,000, is designed to identify applicants who demonstrate a strong level of environmental awareness and a sense of social responsibility.
We caught up with Illustrious to learn more about his study plans and his experience at the United Nations Day in 2018.
What advice do you have for other prospective students who want to apply for the scholarship?
I would advise them to not give up. Last year, in 2021, I was a finalist for the QS World Merit Academic Excellence Scholarship but eventually did not win the award. In addition, due to visa issues, I was unable to begin my programme. However, I reapplied this year (2022), made it to the finalist round, and eventually won the Social Responsibility Scholarship.
I would also advise them to thoroughly read and comprehend the scholarship selection criteria very well and try as much as possible to tailor their application to the criteria while adhering to the given instructions.

My advice would be to just go for it; they never know if they can make it unless they try it. If they’re working on a mission that they care about, their passion will shine through their application. I’d advise them to take a deep breath, relax, and write about their high school journey with candour and appreciation. Harnessing their storytelling skills and honing their achievements with humility would go a long way.
