15 Ashoka Students Selected for Millennium Fellowship 2024

Ashoka University is one of only 280+ campuses worldwide selected to host over 4,000 Millennium Fellows in 2024.

Fifteen students from Ashoka University have been selected in the 2024 cohort of Millennium Fellows! Presented by the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) and the Millennium Campus Network (MCN), the Millennium Fellowship is a prestigious, semester-long leadership development program aimed at supporting student leaders working toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

With over 52,000 applicants from more than 6,000 campuses across 170 countries, Ashoka University stands among the 280+ campuses (just 5%) in 48 nations chosen to host the 4,000+ Millennium Fellows in 2024.

The Fellows will now embark on a semester-long journey to build the skills necessary for careers focused on the SDGs. Alongside their peers, they will engage with the Millennium Fellowship curriculum and work on social impact projects, either individually or in groups, to support one or more of the 17 SDGs and the 10 UNAI principles. In addition to group projects, individual Fellows will collectively contribute to advancing all of the 17 SDGs and 10 UNAI principles.

The Millennium Fellowship is designed for undergraduates passionate about creating social impact. Students apply as a university cohort, proposing community service projects that address one or more of the 17 UN SDGs. Once selected, Fellows convene regularly, receive virtual mentoring from UNAI and MCN, and challenge each other to think bigger and celebrate the positive impact they create together. As part of the program, Fellows participate in a series of sessions focused on developing actionable plans for their social impact projects, sharing best practices, and contributing meaningfully to the SDGs. Through collaborative learning and practical action, they are equipped to lead initiatives that drive meaningful change in their communities and beyond.

Since its inception in 2013, the Millennium Fellowship has grown into a global movement, with over 11,000 Fellows having graduated from the program. These alumni, representing more than 300 campuses across 47 nations, are a testament to the program’s success in nurturing leaders committed to advancing global goals and fostering a more sustainable and equitable world.
