This summit is open to applicants from all countries worldwide, including Ethiopia. Applicants must be between 16 and 35 years old for the Fully Funded category. There is no requirement for IELTS or TOEFL scores, as English proficiency is not formally tested. Fresh students with no prior social experience are encouraged to apply.

Applicants need a government-issued ID (a passport is recommended for international travel but not required at the application stage; a national ID is acceptable). You must complete the online application form with thoughtful responses, demonstrating your passion for social change, engagement in social or educational activities, motivation to contribute to community development, and openness to cross-cultural learning and exchange. You should also express your vision for creating a positive impact.

1. Confirm you meet the eligibility criteria, including being between 16 and 35 years old and being available to attend the summit from June 24 to 27, 2026. 2. Pay a non-refundable application fee of $19.99 USD + Tax. This fee is payable through Eventbrite using a credit or debit card. Make sure to keep your payment proof. 3. Access and complete the online application form, which will be provided after your payment. Take your time to write meaningful responses about your motivation, ideas, and achievements, focusing on your vision for social change. 4. The final results of the selection process will be announced on April 30, 2026.

The application deadline is April 20, 2026. The selection process is based on your motivation, leadership potential, and commitment to social change. If you are not selected for a fully funded spot, you may still be considered for the Free Access Pass, Partially Sponsored, or Self Funded categories. While a national ID is sufficient for application, a valid passport will be necessary for international travel to Australia if you are selected.
