Leading Africa Scholarship 2022 for One Young World

Deadline: 01 December 2021

The Leading Africa Scholarship is an initiative designed to ensure that outstanding young people from Africa are represented at the One Young World Summit 2022 in Tokyo. The scholarship pays for:

• Access to the One Young World Summit 2022 in Tokyo, Japan.
• Hotel accommodation between 15 and 19 May 2022.
• Catering which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner.
• Transport between the Summit accommodation and the Summit venue.
• Summit handouts and support materials.
• The cost of travel to and from Tokyo. Your flight to and from Tokyo 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 Japan to attend the One Young World Summit 2022, you will be required to pay the visa fee yourself. The visa costs 22 GBP plus the applicable service charge of your local visa application center. The costs of the visa and the applicable service charge as well as any further costs associated with the visa application (including travel to and from the visa application center) fall on you as the participant.
