amberscholar is a cash scholarship run by amber, the student accommodation booking platform, paid from what it calls its $50,000 amber Dream Fund. It backs students with a big goal, whether academic, sporting, creative or entrepreneurial, and asks for a short pitch about your dream and how much funding you need rather than top grades. You must be studying at, or hold an offer from, a university in the UK, USA, Ireland, Australia, Canada or Germany, and applying is free. **What you get:** - A cash scholarship from the $50,000 amber Dream Fund pool, with the amount set by the scholarship committee - Payment straight to your bank account, usable for tuition and other educational expenses - Past editions paid three winners each, with top awards of GBP 5,000 (2023 and early 2024), $7,000 (late 2024) and $6,000 (2025) **What you'll do:** - Fill in a short first form with your basic details, which amber says takes about three minutes - Pitch your dream in your own words and say how much funding you need to make it real - Submit your acceptance letter, statement of purpose, a portfolio or social media link, and a photo of yourself - Choose the lane that fits you: Academic Wizards, All-Star Sports, Creative Geniuses, or Founders and Innovators **Key dates:** - Applications close January 31, 2027 (extended from late August 2026) - Winners announced in February 2027 (amber's own pages give both the first week of February and 27 February 2027) **More information:** - Questions go to amberscholarship@amberstudent.com - Winners agree to take part in amber's publicity, including their photo and name - The award covers one academic year and is not renewable
