CIVICUS Scholarship

The CIVICUS Scholarship is a prestigious opportunity for undergraduate and postgraduate students who are dedicated to strengthening civil society and promoting social justice. Offered by CIVICUS, a global alliance of civil society organizations, this scholarship aims to support emerging leaders who demonstrate a commitment to community engagement and advocacy. Recipients are selected based on their academic excellence, leadership potential, and active involvement in civil society initiatives. The scholarship typically covers tuition fees, living expenses, and travel costs for the duration of the program, allowing students to focus on their studies and research. Applicants must submit a detailed proposal outlining their planned contribution to civil society, along with academic transcripts and letters of recommendation. The selection process is highly competitive, with a panel of experts reviewing each application. Successful candidates become part of a global network of changemakers, gaining access to mentorship, training, and networking opportunities. The CIVICUS Scholarship is offered annually, with deadlines varying by region. For the 2026 cycle, applications are expected to open in early 2026.
