This competitive fellowship program is open to undergraduate students from all colleges and majors with a passion for big global questions and speaking across differences. The Global Scholars program provides a toolkit of resources for weighing challenging questions and builds your practical skills in public debates. For the 2024-2025 school year, Scholars will bring their skills as writers, scholars, activists and artists, poets, hands-on practitioners, and more to study and promote building democracy. By the end of the program, you'll be an active global citizen and champion for social impact.

The Global Scholars program creates a space for studying and practicing how individuals and communities can engage about, with, and across difference and disagreement to work toward collective understanding and action on challenging global issues. Our focus will be on skills of discourse, empowering you to thoughtfully address big questions on campus and beyond. You will learn how to:

• Determine the nature of complex global issues.
• Understand crucial issues from multiple perspectives.
• Test your ideas through research.
• Respectfully interact with communities impacted by an issue.
• Responsibly engage in advocacy to create valuable public discourse.
• Craft and share a capstone project with the campus community.
