The Prodigy Finance Scholarship Programme will award scholarships to high-achieving students enrolled in or planning to enroll in full-time master's or postgraduate programmes at top overseas universities supported by Prodigy Finance outside their home country. 

The winners will be selected based on the assessment of their answers to entry essay questions.

The answers of the shortlisted candidates will be anonymised and shared with a panel of judges composed of senior managers at Prodigy Finance and an independent third party committed to international education. 

The top 5 candidates with the highest collective ranking shall be awarded the scholarship based on the individual scoring of all of the judges.

The main aim of the scholarship programme is to offer financial support to students who want to pursue higher education overseas. The awarded amount will provide support towards the tuition fee. It will help reduce the total loan amount, which can significantly help students.
