The BMI Americas Scholarship Summit will connect you with outbound government and private scholarship providers, as well as funding agencies, that support students from the Americas to study overseas.

Making agreements with these organisations plays a pivotal role in an institution’s recruitment strategy, and developing personal relationships through face to face contact is the key to success in this part of the world.

With official government support from Colfuturo, Colombia’s largest scholarship programme provider, this premium event gives you exclusive access to influential decision makers and leaders from across North, Central, South America, and the Caribbean.

At the BMI Americas Scholarship Forum, you will have one on one private meetings and network with the directors and senior staff from the most important scholarship and funding organisations. Utilising an online scheduling system, attendees are able to access detailed information on scholarship delegates such as:

• Number of scholarships awarded annually;
• Subjects of interest;
• Programme levels;
• Preferred destination countries.

Using this data, educators can request 21 meetings in advance with the scholarship organisations they feel are the best match for them. In addition, delegates will have the opportunity to mingle and solidify relationships during networking functions such as coffee breaks, lunches and a gala dinner.

At a recent Global Scholarship Forum, attendee Michael Bissell from the University of Birmingham explained how valuable BMI’s events are in helping his institution make crucial connections in places they don’t get to travel to often, especially in Central and South America. Watch our quick video clip to learn why he participated in the Summit and how it helps his institution reach its international education goals.
