Supporting promising individuals in financial need.
Impact Scholarships
Impact Scholarships provide full tuition for graduate students who demonstrate promise for greatly impacting their communities. This is a competitive scholarship based on three criteria:
- Ability to make an impact, based on your commitment to and influence within your community.
- The community you seek to serve faces hardships, experiences high needs, and/or has historical disadvantages.
- Demonstrated and expressed financial need to pursue your studies at the IIRP.
The IIRP does not offer student visas to the U.S. Our program is designed to allow students to continue their studies from anywhere in the world without disruption.
To apply for an Impact Scholarship, you must first be accepted into our Master of Science program. After you are accepted, an essay is required to complete the application. Impact Scholarships are awarded annually in August.
Begin your application by creating a Student Portal.
