Support our new ICYE South-to-South Scholarship Fund by donating today!

Fast Facts:

What?

Our brand new scholarship fund is aimed at young people in the Global South.

Why?

We at ICYE decided to create this fund because there are fewer funding opportunities in the Global South and we want to give them the same opportunities as, for example, Europe and the European Solidarity Corps (ESC).
