The STAR Scholars Network invites applications for its 2023 Millennium Scholars Program to advance upward academic mobility through mentoring across borders to support new generations of scholars.
The Millennium Scholars Program is the premier scholarship development program of the STAR Scholars Network. The program provides emerging and early career scholars with the opportunity to build the network and knowledge needed to advance their academic careers.
The Program, however, supports advanced doctoral students and early career scholars (or scholar-practitioners) who identify with a low-income, lower-middle-income, or upper-middle-income country, whether by birth, cultural heritage, or current residence. The program supports participants in disseminating their research and scholarship to a global audience.
Expectations
Those who choose to participate in the Millennium Scholars Program will be expected to:
- Provide a photo and short bio with a summary of their research interests for the website;
- Participate in monthly online live-stream interactive seminars (seminars will range from 1-3 hours);
- Attend online monthly check-in sessions with their mentor and peer researcher;
- Dedicate sufficient time to make satisfactory progress on their identified project;
- Participate in ongoing peer discussions via the moderated online social media group;
- Post two or three short updates so our members can celebrate their progress and experience in the program.
Duration: 06 months
Benefits
Participants who complete the program will receive a certificate and letter of commendation from the STAR Scholars Network.
