The scholarship seeks to create a global network of future leaders who advance mutual understanding and international collaboration.
Scholarships streamline the application process by offering both scholarship help and university admission for the 2026 intake. Based on the preferences they provided in the online application form, successful applicants are assigned to a university and academic program.
