One Young World Leading Scholarships to attend the OYW Summit 2019 in London, UK (Fully-funded)

Deadline: April 15, 2019

The One Young World Leading Scholarships are open. Leading Scholarships are designed to ensure that outstanding young people from Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the Pacific are represented at the One Young World Summit 2019 in London.

Since 2010, One Young World has worked to guarantee young people from all 196 countries in the world are represented at OYW Summits, regardless of their ability to pay. To ensure this, fully-funded scholarship places are awarded to outstanding young leaders with a range of backgrounds, skill sets and nationalities.

In the midst of challenges, it is young leaders who are devising meaningful strategies to build a more sustainable region. Are you one of those leaders? If so, One Young World is looking to bring you to the next annual Summit in London.

Scholarship

• Access to the One Young World Summit 2019 in London, the United Kingdom.
• Hotel accommodation on a shared basis between 22 October and 25 October 2019.
• Catering which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner.
• Transport between the Summit accommodation and the Summit venue.
• Summit hand-outs and support materials.
• The cost of travel to and from London. Your flight to and from London must depart from and return to one and the same international airport.

Please note that if you are ultimately selected for a Scholarship and require a visa to enter the UK to attend the One Young World Summit 2019, you will be required to pay the UK visa fee yourself. The UK visa costs £93 GBP plus the applicable service charge of your local visa application centre.
