The Alumni Awards celebrate and showcase the impact and value of a UK higher education by finding the stories of exceptional UK alumni and raising their profile. Alumni can apply themselves, or be nominated by anyone, including their UK HEI.

Last year we received applications and nominations from more than 1000 alumni representing more than 110 UK HEIs. This year we would love to see every UK HEI represented in the application/nominations, and even more HEIs with finalists and winners.

CALL TO ACTION – For HEIs with alumni in any of the 14 participating countries
