Deadline: March 5, 2023
Applications are open for the Mercedes-Benz beVisioneers Fellowship 2023. Funded by Mercedes-Benz, beVisioneers provides young innovators like you with the training, resources and expert support you need to bring your planet-positive project or idea to life.
It doesn’t matter who you are or what your financial status is. If you’re passionately committed to creating positive environmental change, whether in your community or across the world, beVisioneers is the fellowship for you.
As a beVisioneers fellow, you take part in a unique, one-year hybrid learning programme designed and implemented by education pioneers – The DO School Fellowships gGmbH. After completing the programme and launching your project, you become a lifelong member of the beVisioneers community, getting support to continue developing your project as well as your leadership and entrepreneurial skills.
Costs
- There are no costs to individual fellows. Participation in the programme is fully funded by a donation from Mercedes-Benz. All fellows benefit, free of charge, from the beVisioneers training curriculum and from access to the beVisioneers online community. All expenses associated with travel to summits are covered.
Eligibility
Eligible fellows:
- are between the ages of 16 and 28 at the time of applying;
- reside in Denmark, Germany, Hungary, India, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden or the United Kingdom;
- show a strong dedication to positive environmental change;
- demonstrate entrepreneurial spirit, including persistence, resilience and determination;
- show leadership in their communities;
- have an early-stage project or project idea for positive environmental impact in one or more of the target countries;
- may not work for, or have a parent or guardian who works for, Mercedes-Benz.
Application
You may apply for a beVisioneers fellowship until March 5, 2023. The application process consists of questions on topics such as your project or project idea, its impact, and your dedication to creating environmental change.
The application should take about one hour to complete. You can save your application at any time and come back to it at a later point. Note that you will need to upload an official proof of identity and record a motivation video of 90 seconds or less.
