The One Young World Shell Scholarship Programme is an initiative by Shell Netherlands to empower ten ambitious, young people in realizing their initiatives for a better world.
In 2018, Shell developed the One Young World Shell Scholarship Programme to empower the development of diverse young leaders in the Netherlands to make a social impact in the areas of energy transition, education and entrepreneurship. The end goal is to work towards a social investment proposal, eligible for funding by Shell Netherlands. Secure the investment to make the project in mind a reality!
The Scholarship is back for 2019 and enables 10 ambitious young leaders to participate in the One Young World Summit 2019 in London.

In addition to joining the Summit, scholarship recipients will receive personal coaching and leadership training from Shell professionals. Each scholar will develop a social investment proposal which will be considered for funding by Shell Netherlands.
If the eligibility criteria are met by a candidate and if he/she is working to make Sustainable Development Goals #7, #8 and #13 relevant for everyone, then this is a great opportunity to achieve his/her goals with the help of the programme.
