Future Talent Council Global Student Fellowship Applications Open on September 7!!

The Global Student Fellowship is a six-month leadership experience for high-performing full-time undergraduate and graduate students across all disciplines. Fellows join international teams of 4–5 students (each with an alumni peer mentor), learn in masterclasses with global executives, complete the Critical AI Engagement program, participate in Scenario Studios, and research a professional Insight Brief. Team posters will be displayed at the Future Talent Summit in Stockholm in June 2027, and teams will give a virtual capstone presentation of their findings to the FTC ecosystem.
