Type - Full scholarship
Study at leading Asian university
 
The Asian Future Leaders Scholarship Program (AFLSP) provides scholarships for high-caliber students from across Asia to study abroad at a leading university in Asia.  Our scholars may choose to pursue undergraduate, MBA, or other Master/Doctoral degree studies at any of our Anchor or Participating Universities, and are encouraged to live in shared dormitories with local students.
 
Scholars from our Anchor and Participating Universities must attend the BXAI Summer Program, which runs over 3 weeks and provides a common platform for all to live and learn alongside each other, sharing their knowledge and experiences.
 
Only Anchor Universities offer enrichment opportunities on campus over the academic year and operate an independent selection process.  Applicants interested in applying for the AFLSP at any of our Anchor Universities should apply for admission and contact the relevant university directly.  
 
Participating Universities recommend candidates to the Institute for interview by the BXAI Selection Panel, which allocates scholarships for the AFLSP Pool.  Applicants interested in applying for the AFLSP at any of our Participating Universities should register on our website for online application.
