The Future Action Summit offers two categories of funding, Fully Funded and Partially Funded, to support participants in covering their event-related expenses. A nominal non-refundable application fee of $19.99 applies to fully and partially funded applicants. Top 20 applicants will receive fully funded slots, while the next 30 will be awarded partially funded slots. Submitting an application does not guarantee selection. All applications are thoroughly reviewed by an independent selection panel through a competitive and merit-based evaluation process.
Top 20 applicants will receive fully funded slots, while the next 30 will be awarded partially funded slots. Please note that the partially funded slots do not include round trip airfare, as airfare is only covered for fully funded participants.

This option is ideal for passionate applicants eager to secure their place in this transformative global experience. The 99.99 USD fee is non-refundable regardless of the visa outcome.
