The United Nations Academic Impact and MCN are partnering for the Millennium Fellowship, a semester-long leadership development programme that takes place on your campus.

The Millennium Scholarship brings together, challenges and celebrates student leadership for the UN goals on campuses around the world.

Summon

• As part of a cohort of 8-20+ Millennium Fellows on your campus, come together to learn from and challenge each other. Millennium Fellows meet at least 8 times during the programme.

Challenge

• Develop an action plan for your sessions together. Meet to exchange good practice. And you could think bigger: organise a campus-wide sustainability initiative or more.

Celebrate

• When your scholarship campus achieves the goals you have set and meets the requirements for graduation from the scholarship, you will receive a certificate of recognition of academic impact from the United Nations and the Millennium Campus Network.

Note that each selected campus centre will typically have between 8 and 20 millennium scholars (which means you are strongly encouraged to invite your colleagues and classmates on your campus to apply as well). When you apply, you'll be asked to submit your millennium scholarship proposal. Whatever your project is, it must be time-bound - something that you can have a significant and measurable impact on during the Millennium Fellowship (August-December) and it must advance at least one sustainable development goal and one UNAI principle. For some examples, this could be (but is not limited to):

• Lead your campus organisation (e.g. AIESEC chapter, ENACTUS, UNICEF) that advances UN goals.
• Student journalism - writing a series on the Sustainable Development Goals for your campus newspaper.
• Running a social enterprise.
• Innovative research that concretely advances the UN's goals.
• Propose a collective action as a project - a campus and/or community-wide initiative that advances the UN goals. For inspiration, check out Middlebury College's successful campus-wide effort to become carbon neutral by 2016 (advancing SDG 13).
