About the Scholarship

This is an extraordinary, full scholarship program for girls who are active global citizens and energized to help solve some of today’s biggest global challenges.

The program culminates with team projects and presentations that offer potential solutions to real-world challenges, with an emphasis on climate change and the energy transition.
