The United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) Youth4Disarmament Fellowship Studentships offer a unique opportunity for undergraduate and postgraduate students to engage with global disarmament efforts. This fellowship aims to empower young leaders by providing them with in-depth knowledge of disarmament issues, including nuclear non-proliferation, arms control, and peacebuilding. Participants will benefit from a comprehensive curriculum that includes lectures, workshops, and simulations led by UN experts. The program fosters a deep understanding of international security challenges and equips students with skills to contribute meaningfully to disarmament advocacy. Eligibility criteria include enrollment in a recognized university, a strong academic record, and demonstrated interest in peace and security. Selected fellows receive full funding for travel, accommodation, and program materials. The fellowship is highly competitive, with a focus on diversity and geographical representation. Upon completion, fellows join a global network of alumni working in diplomacy, academia, and civil society. The application process typically opens in early 2026, with deadlines in mid-2026. This fellowship is an ideal stepping stone for careers in international relations, security studies, and humanitarian affairs.
