The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award
A structured, internationally recognised framework: volunteering, a skill, physical activity and an expedition. One of the few things on this list universities in the UK and Commonwealth recognise by name.
- Any subject
- Who can enter
- Ages 14-24, in 130+ countries. Through a school, club or other licensed centre
- What it costs
- The participation fee is set by each country's National Award Operator and by your centre, so it differs everywhere. Some centres charge nothing. Ask the centre before you commit.
- When it closes
- We could not confirm this year's date against the organiser's own page, so we are not showing a countdown for it. Last published: Open all year: join through a licensed centre near you.
Sending this to someone sends the four facts above, not just a name. They will see who can enter and what it costs before they decide.
