IMG Student Journey Scholarship
Offered by International Medical Group
About this scholarship
International Medical Group’s Student Journey Scholarship provides one $5,000 fall award to a non-U.S. citizen pursuing undergraduate or graduate education in the United States. The fall 2026 application is open from July 13 through October 4 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern. Applicants explain the background and journey that led them to pursue U.S. higher education and how that education will advance their personal and professional goals. They may submit an approximately 500-word original essay or a roughly three-minute video hosted on a sharing platform such as YouTube or Vimeo. The entry form is embedded directly on IMG’s official page and asks for contact, home-country, institution, field-of-study, enrollment, and submission information; the rules also permit email entry with the same information. Entries are scored for passion, impact, and completeness. One entry per person is allowed, and employees of IMG are ineligible. IMG plans to announce the fall winner on November 9, 2026. The selected student must provide proof of enrollment at an accredited U.S. college or university, after which IMG pays the award directly to the institution. The sponsor states that it offers $10,000 total each year through separate fall and spring awards.
