The CCID & LewerMark Student Insurance 2026 Global Impact Scholarship
Scholarships to empower the next generation of global citizens and leaders
CCID is pleased to announce the winners of the 2026 Global Impact Scholarship Contest, created to recognize the vision, creativity, and leadership of international students studying at CCID member colleges.
For many international students, financial barriers can make studying in the United States more difficult. At CCID, we are proud to support these students because they bring invaluable perspectives, ideas, and global connections that enrich our campuses and communities.
In partnership with LewerMark Student Insurance, we launched the Global Impact Scholarship Contest to celebrate the impact international students are making through their education.
The 2026 theme asked students to reflect on: “How will you make a difference in the world with your international education?”
Students shared powerful submissions through essays, videos, artwork, and music, demonstrating how their global education experiences are shaping their aspirations to create positive change. These students represent the very best of international education: innovation, leadership, and a commitment to building a better and more interconnected world.
We extend our sincere gratitude to LewerMark Student Insurance for their generous support of this initiative and their ongoing commitment to international student success.
