For these reasons, BMI has developed three prestigious events (held in London, Abu Dhabi and Bogota) for scholarship providers to meet and select international partner institutions to receive their funded students.

Unlike any other event in the international education industry, BMI’s Scholarship Summits draw in the heads of the largest scholarship programmes in the world, including national and departmental government programmes, national and private corporations, as well as universities and vocational scholarship providers.

Watch our videos for a quick overview of how these luxurious, high-level networking events connect institutions with this coveted audience – either at the Global Scholarship Summit with more than 70 funding organisations in attendance, or at a regional summit for a geographic focus.

BMI is proud to connect you with an elite audience of organisations that send or fund significant numbers of individuals for overseas study or training each year.

The Global Scholarship Summit attracts over 70 scholarship providers from around the world to London every April as scholarship organisations and institutions meet to discuss large scale training projects that may be delivered in country or abroad.

On a regional level, over 50 scholarship providers from across the Gulf will gather in Abu Dhabi this October for the Gulf Scholarship Summit, which is part of a series of events known as International Education Week UAE, with the Summit acting as the grand finale to cap-off the week’s government-supported events. Meanwhile,  scholarship organisations from the Caribbean, North, Central and South America will converge on Bogota, Colombia for the BMI Americas Scholarship Summit this November.

At each event, you’ll be able to pre-arrange private meetings with scholarship providers that best match your institution and the programmes you offer. You also be treated to an extensive programme of luxurious networking functions such as lunches, coffee breaks, a cocktail reception, and a Gala Dinner – all of which provide the perfect atmosphere to foster long lasting partnerships.

New in 2020 and held the day before the London Summit, BMI and Jackfruit Marketing are proud to launch the Global Scholarship Symposium.

Whereas the Summits focus on bringing institutions and funding bodies together for formal, private meetings to discuss agreements and partnerships, the BMI Global Scholarship Symposium is open to anyone looking to increase their knowledge and understanding of the global scholarship landscape.

This brand new, one day event is packed with interactive sessions to get universities and scholarship organisations brainstorming together and actively participating in discussions on best practices, budget management, selection criteria, geographical variations in scholarship programmes, changing requirements, streamlining processes and more.
