Students from any country who have done amazing things with their special skill or passion that set them apart from their peers:

• Are you a volunteer who rolls up their sleeves and gets involved to help those in need?
• Were you a child prodigy who developed their first app aged 12?
• Perhaps you’re a maths whizz who could rival Alan Turing in solving sums?
• Are you a dedicated participant in projects aimed at making the world a more sustainable place?
• Do you have a knack for diplomacy that would be at home at the UN?
• Maybe you founded a start-up at 17, just because you believed in your idea. Even if it was a huge fail, you’d do it again in a heartbeat

This fits students who can point to one clear thing they have built, led or achieved outside the classroom, whether that is volunteering, a start-up, a project for sustainability, or a skill they have pushed to a high level. If you are enrolled at a recognised university and can explain what your talent has been used for, the award is open to you whatever your subject or country.

Each of the 10 recipients will receive financial support to the tune of £650 a month for a whole year to put towards their studies. In addition, Idealo will offer you coaching that is tailored to your subject.

The monthly payment runs for a full year, so you can plan around a steady amount rather than a single lump sum. The coaching is matched to what you study, which means the support goes beyond money.

Students of all disciplines, who are enrolled at a recognized university, are encouraged to apply for the idealo scholarship.

Two things matter here: you must be enrolled at a recognised university, and your field of study can be anything. Beyond that, idealo judges applicants on the special skill they describe and how they have put it to use.

To apply, you must complete the application form with your basic information. Submit a short video or short essay to introduce yourself and tell us about your extraordinary talent. You must also attach an up-to-date version of your CV. Applications will only be accepted in the form of a fully-completed online application. Applications via e-mail will NOT be considered. The deadline for application is 15 April 2018.
