The Royal Holloway Global Future Leaders Scholarship: USA was formerly known as the American Excellence Scholarship. Thanks to kind donations from our American alumni over the past decade, the scholarship has supported over 30 US citizens at Royal Holloway to achieve a wide variety of postgraduate degrees ranging from MA Creative Writing to MSc Machine Learning.
Our ambition is to raise $100,000 to fund a decade of scholarships. This initiative is not just about opening doors; it’s about cultivating a vibrant mosaic of diversity of thought. By bringing together individuals from disparate cultures, backgrounds, and personalities, we create a dynamic forum for the exchange of ideas, each participant contributing unique insights.
A Scholarship would allow more promising students from the USA to embark on a global journey that could form a pathway to an international career, whilst also providing them with a cultural experience and the chance to learn and travel within Europe with ease. This opportunity would undoubtedly create global leaders for future generations.
'Thanks to the Scholarship, I was able to devote myself to developing the pressure points of my novel’s ethnic dialogue. The book was able to rebirth itself with the strongest intention of opening conversations of pain and glory amongst all colors. As long as I can keep helping, the way that the Scholarship has helped me, then I will have done my part. Thank you again.' - Leah, MA English
Over the past decade we have had over 750 students from the USA studying with us and we would like to offer the opportunity to many more who might not otherwise be able to afford to do so.
Will you be part of our vision of inspiring aspirational students from the USA to enrich their educational experience as you once did yourself and enable them to study at Royal Holloway? Join us in making this vision a reality.

“I highly value my time at Royal Holloway. The quality of teaching and scholarship was
second to none. The global student community was enriching. The setting was
magnificent and the friends I made have been life-long ones. More than all this, though,
is what a Royal Holloway degree did for me professionally. In addition to all that I
learned, being a Royal Holloway alumnus raised my profile. It set me apart in the always
very competitive U.S. marketplace. I owe a lot to Royal Holloway.”
