The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Fellowship is now accepting applications for a select group of emerging entrepreneurs, offering essential tools and guidance to help them develop and launch initiatives that tackle pressing global issues.
The CGI Fellowship is a year-long program for emerging entrepreneurs, where 25 individuals are selected each year to create a CGI Commitment to Action—a new, specific, and measurable project aimed at addressing a critical global issue. This fellowship provides a prominent platform to launch these projects at the CGI Annual Meeting, presenting them to an audience of over 2,000 leaders from business, government, philanthropy, and civil society.
Building on the success of CGI University, which since 2008 has engaged over 13,000 university students worldwide and provided more than $4 million in funding to early-stage entrepreneurs, the new CGI Fellowship seeks to expand its impact.
