Ban Ki-moon Global Citizen Scholarship Program 2021 is calling for applications. The Global Citizen Scholarship Program empowers exceptional young people by facilitating their participation in international conferences as well as tailor-made, short-term academic training and supporting and mentoring them during the development of their own “SDG Micro-Project.”
The scholarship includes the chance to attend renowned international fora, interact and network with high-level change-makers, access specialized educational seminars and training, and gain insights from expert mentors and workshops provided by the Centre.
Application Process
pplicants must prepare the following documents:
- CV
- Scan of passport or other formal ID
- Proof of academic titles and/or enrollment confirmation
- Letter of motivation (max 500 words)
- Why do you want to receive this scholarship?
- Why do you want to attend the “Africa Cities in 2030” summer school with the University of Bordeaux?
- What makes YOU a global citizen?
- Why would you otherwise not have access to this opportunity?
- SDG Micro-Project pitch (max 500 words)
- Describe a project that you would like to implement for the SDGs in your community. It does not need to be a formal proposal; however, it should include a short description of a challenge you wish to address and a manageable project idea that you could implement with minimal financial resources. If you can already think of partners who you would like to work with (local NGOs, schools, companies, city councils etc.), list these. Should you be chosen for the scholarship, you will be able to adjust and revise the idea as you go through the program.
