Hurry Up!! Opportunity Alert, Ethical Global Engagement Grants support travel, living, and EdGE tuition expenses for exceptional candidates. The expectation is that recipients join our EdGE learning community and then volunteer or intern (online or in person) with an Omprakash Partner organization, typically for at least 3 months. Our grants target different audiences and offer varying levels of support. All share the purpose of broadening access to learning opportunities within our programs and throughout our network.
Eligibility
- Anyone is eligible to apply for an Ethical Global Engagement Grants, regardless of nationality, age, gender, religion, or any other background characteristics.

This program is meant for anyone, anywhere in the world, but would especially suit people who are:
- Looking to volunteer abroad, but are skeptical of the dominant “voluntourism” paradigm
- Students looking for internships (online or in-person) to support and broaden their studies
- Gap Year students looking for a unique opportunity to join a program that offers support but is also flexible and self-directed, with the possibility to earn college credit.
