The United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) and Millennium Campus Network (MCN) proudly present the Millennium Fellowship 2023, a semester-long leadership development program that happens on your campus.
Donor Name: United Nations Academic Impact
Country: Global
Type of Grant: Fellowship
Deadline: 02/28/2023
Details:
The Millennium Fellowship convenes, challenges, and celebrates student leadership for UN goals on campuses worldwide.
Convene
- As part of a cohort of 8-20+ Millennium Fellows on your campus, convene to learn from and challenge each other. Millennium Fellows convene at least 8 times during the program.
Challenge
- Develop a plan of action for your sessions together. Meet to exchange best practices. And you could think bigger: organizing a campus-wide sustainability initiative or more.
Celebrate
- When your Fellowship Campus meets the goals you made for yourselves and completed the Fellowship graduation requirements, you will earn a certificate of recognition from United Nations Academic Impact and Millennium Campus Network.
Note that each selected campus hub will typically have 8-20 Millennium Fellows (meaning you are strongly encouraged to invite your colleagues and classmates on your campus to apply as well). When you apply, you are asked to submit your Millennium Fellowship Project. Whatever your Project is, it must be time-bound – something you can make meaningful, measurable impact on during the Millennium Fellowship (August-December) and it must advance at least one Sustainable Development Goal and one UNAI principle. For some examples, it could be (but is not limited to):
- Leading your campus organization (for example, a chapter of AIESEC, ENACTUS, UNICEF) that advances UN goals.
- Student journalism – writing a series on the Sustainable Development Goals for your campus newspaper.
- Running a social enterprise.
- Innovative research that concretely advances UN goals.
- Proposing a collective action as a Project – a campus-wide and/or community-wide initiative that advances UN goals. For inspiration, learn about Middlebury College’s successful campus-wide action to become carbon neutral by 2016 (advancing SDG 13).
