Applications are invited from young minds around the world with leadership potential for the Deloitte – One Young World Scholarship 2020 which aims at sponsoring awardees to attend the One Young World Summit 2020 at Munich, Germany.

Education is the cornerstone of sustainable development yet there are currently 1.8 billion young people (aged 10-24) worldwide and over half of this population will not have the skills necessary to participate in the emerging global workforce. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) clearly recognize that this gap must be closed, as the international community more explicitly addresses the challenges of quality and equity in education.

  • Access to the One Young World Summit 2020 in Munich;
