It’s that time of year again… The Enroly Awards are back for their fourth year – and we’re more excited than ever to celebrate the universities and individuals driving change in international student recruitment and admissions. 🥂
The awards will be presented live at EnrolyCon 2025 on 1 May, bringing a big dose of celebration to a day already packed with connection, learning, and momentum. The ceremony itself might be full of energy, music, and the odd surprise, but the recognition behind it is anything but surface-level.
These awards are all about spotlighting the people doing the work.
Over the past few months, we’ve been quietly reviewing the data, speaking with partners, and tracking the impact of real efforts happening on the ground. The stories we’ve surfaced through that process speak for themselves, of innovation, teamwork, progress, and determination. We just crunched the numbers. The brilliance is all yours.
And now? It’s time to celebrate those moments of impact. 💡
