Deloitte is offering scholarships to young leaders who are pioneering innovative solutions to either address the causes and effects of climate change and protect natural ecosystems, or transform education and skills development for the future workforce. This scholarship will bring together an interdisciplinary cohort of 8 young leaders—four education-focused and four climate-focused individuals—to attend the One Young World Summit in Munich, Germany, from November 3–6, 2025.

The future of our planet depends on ensuring the next generation is equipped with the ‘future proof’ skills required to meet these challenges. The twin digital and green transition requires a stark investment in both green and digital skills to empower individuals, nations, and societies to thrive in this increasingly dynamic environment. Yet, millions worldwide still lack access to quality education and the necessary skills to succeed. By leveraging innovative solutions, we can bridge these gaps to create needed upskilling solutions, support and scale entrepreneurial ventures, and create new pathways to employment in a demanding and digital economy.

We are seeking candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to:

1. leveraging innovative solutions to combat climate change; and
2. transforming education and skills development through innovation.
