Thank you for your leadership and for recognizing the value of this opportunity for your students and community. A select number of campuses worldwide will be selected for the Millennium Fellowship in 2026 based on the number and caliber of student applications (only 4% of campuses were selected as campus hubs for the Fellowship in 2025). The program will be offered at no cost to selected students and campus hubs. We invite you to take the following actions: Reach out to students on your campus with this content and encourage them to apply for the Millennium Fellowship as soon as possible (as applications are reviewed on a rolling basis). You are seeking 8-20+ Millennium Fellows for your campus, including two students to serve as Campus Directors. Competitive cohorts typically have 15-20 or more applications. Campuses have secured 20+ applicants by sending out a campus-wide email to all undergraduates and following up with interested students. When reaching out, offer concrete support that students can include in their applications. If applicants can note that they have specific support of administration and faculty to help ensure success of the cohort, that is worth highlighting. When students apply for the program, they are asked to provide a reference. Ensure your student leaders have strong references (from you or colleagues on campus).

Undergraduates must apply individually to the Millennium Fellowship. If more than one student is working on a project together, they can copy/paste relevant answers pertaining to project description/intended outcomes in their applications. The application does require an academic reference. On some campuses multiple faculty/staff provide these, while on others one person provides these references for all applicants. Either option is acceptable.

As long as students' proposed projects align with one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals and one or more of the UNAI principles, it is appropriate for this program. Students on a campus can all work together on a collective project, or they can work individually/in smaller groups on a number of projects. Here are concrete examples of projects featured by UNAI, and you can review more by campus here.
