Applications are now open for the 2025 Echidna Global Scholars Program, a fellowship hosted by the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC. The program is designed to empower leaders from the Global South who are focused on advancing gender equality through education. This six-month fellowship provides scholars the opportunity to conduct research that enhances education and life opportunities for girls, young women, and gender non-conforming individuals. Participants will also develop leadership and policy skills, and expand their knowledge in gender and education.
