The Weidenfeld Scholarships and Leadership Programme

Click here for information on the Weidenfeld Scholars.

This Programme cultivates the leaders of tomorrow from transition and emerging economies; in its first phase the Programme focuses on Europe’s wider neighbourhood including Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Russia, the Middle East and North Africa. It provides outstanding university graduates and young professionals from these regions with the opportunity to pursue graduate studies at the University of Oxford combined with a comprehensive programme of Leadership Development, long-term mentoring and networking. The Leadership Programme provides the Scholars with the knowledge, skills and networks to contribute  effectively to public life in their countries of origin and to build lasting professional linkages across cultures and continents.
