Each year, Queen’s supports a range of competitive, transatlantic scholarships including national awards such as the prestigious Fulbright, Marshall and Mitchell scholarships.

Professor Margaret Topping, Pro-Vice Chancellor for Internationalisation, commented:

‘North America is a very important region to Queen’s – one in which we have fantastic educational partnerships, many world-leading research projects and a growing network of students and alumni.

As a university we are deeply committed to equity and inclusion in education and have made significant investment in global and local initiatives to support widening participation. One such initiative is investment in North America scholarships.

This year, we are delighted to welcome students through both long-standing and nationally competitive awards and also more recently developed scholarships such as our undergraduate ‘Future Leaders’ award which recognises community leadership. I wish our new students every success in their academic journey and beyond.’

This year’s scholarship recipients are drawn from high schools and universities across North America. The group were welcomed to campus by Queen’s staff and representatives from the USA Consulate.
