Realizing that each candidate has a proud personal story and to recognize every individual effort on the journey to conquer IELTS, the British Council launches the IELTS Prize 2025 (for IELTS Inspirers).
The award aims to honor inspirational stories, providing financial support to individuals who appreciate the true value of IELTS, dare to dream and pursue it to the end, no matter where that journey starts from and towards any destination.
The success stories from the winners are a strong source of encouragement for those who are conquering IELTS, thereby contributing to building a vibrant learning environment where everyone shares experiences, inspires and strives to improve.
