If you are a young leader who is devising meaningful strategies to build a more sustainable world, One Young World is looking to bring you to our next annual Summit.
Apply to attend the One Young World Summit 2025 in Munich, Germany from 3 – 6 November via our flagship Leading Scholarship.
About the Leading Scholarship
Ensuring that the Summit is accessible to remarkable young leaders from almost every country in the world is pivotal to the mission of One Young World.
Scholarships provide the opportunity for exceptional young people to attend on the merit of their proven leadership and ability to create change in their home country.
The Leading Scholarship is designed specifically to identify and support outstanding young leaders from countries that are often under-represented at global forums and decision-making spaces.
What does the Leading Scholarship include?
- Full delegate access to the One Young World Summit in Munich, Germany.
- Hotel accommodation between 2 and 6 November 2025.
- Catering which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- The cost of travel to and from Munich. Your flight to and from Munich must depart from and return to one and the same international airport.
Please note that if you are ultimately selected for a Scholarship and require a visa to enter Germany to attend the One Young World Summit 2025, you will be required to pay the visa fee yourself. The costs of the visa as well as any further costs associated with the visa application (including travel to and from the visa application centre) fall on you as the participant.
What could the Leading Scholarship mean for you?
- Tap into a global network of over 18,700 potential collaborators from 196 countries
- Gain access to exclusive Ambassador opportunities, such as speaking events, regional networking opportunities and mentoring sessions
- The chance to wave your country’s flag at the Opening Ceremony

- Have an evidenced commitment to delivering positive change
- Demonstrate capacity for leadership
- Are addressing key local and/or global issues in your work

*Most delegates are between the age of 18 and 30. The One Young World team will consider applications from those who are older than 30, pending demonstration of appropriate personal impact, initiative, and willingness to engage. We are not able to accept applications from those who will be aged under 18 at the time of the Summit.
Please note:
- Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
- Priority will be given to applicants from countries that have been less represented at previous One Young World Summits.
- We cannot guarantee that any applicant will secure sponsorship
- Priority will be given to first-time Summit attendees (not One Young World Ambassadors).

- We do not provide feedback as to why candidates are not selected.
