About the Amber Scholar Dream Fund
Amber runs the Dream Fund for students who want financial support for an academic, creative, sporting or entrepreneurial goal. The 2026-27 edition invites applications under four broad profiles: Academic Wizards, All-Star Sports, Creative Geniuses, and Founders and Innovators.
This is not a university admission offer and it does not replace tuition funding. Applicants should separately confirm their admission, visa and full study budget. Amber states that shortlisted recipients are paid directly.
Financial Benefits
The official page promotes a USD 50,000 Dream Fund pool. It does not publish a fixed award amount for each recipient on the main application page, so applicants should not assume that one person receives the entire pool or that the award covers all tuition and living costs.
The funding is intended to help a selected student advance the goal described in the application. There is no application fee.
Application Structure
- Provide your personal and study details.
- Describe the goal or dream you want the fund to support.
- Show why the goal matters and what progress you have already made.
- Add evidence such as a portfolio or suitable social profile.
- Submit before 31 January 2027 and monitor the contact details used in the form.
Amber says its panel looks for a clear goal, a genuine reason, evidence that the applicant has started, and a convincing explanation in the applicant’s own words.
Eligibility Requirements
A Pakistani national may apply when studying in any programme in one of the six listed destinations: the United Kingdom, United States, Ireland, Australia, Canada or Germany. The public page does not limit eligibility to a particular degree level or academic field.
Applicants should be able to provide an acceptance letter and explain their financial need, ambition and intended use of the funding. Students based only in Pakistan without study in one of the listed destinations do not meet the location condition shown on the official page.
Required Documents
The official checklist asks for:
- an acceptance letter;
- a statement of purpose;
- a portfolio or social media link that helps explain the applicant’s work and goal; and
- a suitable personal photograph.
Prepare clear files and use truthful, current information. Amber may request additional details during review.
