This year, AstraZeneca is going beyond Scholarships to power and deliver a unique Young Health Programme Impact Fellowship that provides development opportunities, access to networks, and funding to help the most impactful young health leaders to help them create even more positive change.

By collaborating with One Young World, these inspiring young leaders will attend the One Young World Summit 2023 in Belfast, UK. They will receive a US $10,000 grant to contribute to a specific project within their eligible non-profit organization. This grant will assist in developing and delivering effective health promotion programs, emphasizing under-resourced and marginalized communities in low- and middle-income countries. We believe that access to networks, development, and funding will lead to a global health movement led by, and for, young people.

Eligibility

The Young Health Programme Impact Fellowship participants must be:

  • Aged 18 – 30.
  • Nationals of all non-sanctioned countries are eligible to apply for this scholarship.
  • Applicants must demonstrate a positive impact related to tackling non-communicable diseases among youth.
  • Access to the internet and a device (computer, phone) that will allow them to participate in life, and online Fellowship sessions – this will not be provided to Fellows.
  • Applicants must be founders or leaders of registered non-profit organizations that meet the following criteria:
    • Have been registered and operational for at least 3 full years.
    • Have had total reported income in the last financial year of more than USD$50,000 and less than USD$1,000,000.
    • Are ‘funding-ready’ and able to provide appropriate documentation (in English) to AstraZeneca’s grant-making partner at the Charities Aid Foundation to verify their organization’s charitable status, governance, and financial situation. This process usually takes 3-6 months to complete and will begin once Fellows are selected. If the required documentation is not available, it may impact the ability of the organization to receive the grant and the Fellowship may be withdrawn. We aim for all grants to be dispersed by October 2023, and projects to start between October 2023 and April 2024. All projects must end by December 2024.
    • Operate in under-resourced communities. These are likely to be in low-income or lower-middle-income countries or settings.
  • Applicants must be able to propose a 6-12 month project that:
    • Empowers young people (aged 12-24) to manage their health to prevent non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in their community.
    • Focuses on tackling the five major NCD risk factor / behavioral risk areas (tobacco use, physical inactivity, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diets, and air pollution) which contribute to NCDs (cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, cancer, type II diabetes)
    • Is inclusive and non-discriminatory in its approach, working with marginalized or vulnerable young people
    • Is measured and can demonstrate impact. Organizations must provide an end-of-year and end-of-grant report including, but not limited to, the total number of young people reached directly, change/improvement over time, lessons learned, and impact.
    • Begins after October 2023 and will be completed by December 2024.
  • Projects that do any of the following are not eligible for funding:
    • Discriminate or primarily promote political or religious viewpoints to their beneficiaries.
    • Use the funds to make grants or financial donations to other organizations or individuals.
    • Be primarily a medical course/s.
    • Provide bursaries, tuition, scholarships, or fees for an existing course.
    • Provide treatment, promote medicines, provide medical advice, or pay for drugs.
    • Benefit AstraZeneca’s commercial business.
    • Last more than 12 months.
    • Have already taken place or are planned to start before November 2023.
    • Be funded more than 50% by another source, aside from Step Up! Grant.
  • Selected individuals are expected to fully participate in the YHP Impact Fellowship and One Young World Summit. Any misrepresentation, or inability to fully participate and complete verification promptly may jeopardize their Scholarship benefits and grant eligibility.
  • If, after selection, the screening and verification process determines that the organizations do not meet the eligibility requirements as outlined above, they will be unable to receive the Grant and the individual’s participation in the YHP Impact Fellowship and OYW Summit may be withdrawn.



Benefits

  • Full delegate access to the One Young World Summit 2023 in Belfast, United Kingdom, from 2 – 5 October 2023.
  • Return air travel from your home country to Belfast (flights in economy only). Flights will be arranged by the OYW delegate services team.

  • Access to the AstraZeneca Young Health Programme Scholarship’s pre-program on 2 October.

Many universities in developing countries are underfunded and overcrowded, and also the availability of top-level university lecturers and practice-oriented training programs is often limited.
