2026 Global Scholars Application

Join a year-long journey to become a globally minded leader. Through Global Scholars you will take a critical look at global engagement, explore identity and belonging, gain real-world experience, and build professional skills.

The application asks you to share information about yourself, your motivations and goals for participating in Global Scholars, your preferences for a global experience and the barriers you've faced. It is estimated to take around 60 minutes to complete.

For priority consideration, submit your application by Sunday, November 16, 2025. After this, applications will continue being accepted on a rolling basis.

Sign up for a (required) group interview: https://doodle.com/sign-up-sheet/participate/85d01224-bd65-43eb-a538-1638e914f724/select

We will be accepting students based on the criteria of:

Perceived effort - personal, not AI-generated - in application responses.
Interest in the topics of global citizenship and global engagement.
Potential impact of program involvement on self and the community.
Curiosity and cultural humility: willingness to learn about yourself and engage positively with diverse others.
