Are you interested in social change? Do you see a need in your community that needs to be addressed? Maybe you could be the one to solve it!

Each year, the Clinton Global Initiative University (or CGI U) hosts a meeting where students, university representatives, topic experts, and celebrities come together to discuss and develop innovative solutions to pressing global challenges. Students create their own Commitments to Action that address issues on campus, in local communities, or around the world. Since 2008, students have made more than 6,250 commitments, and nearly $3 million in funding has been awarded to these commitment-makers through CGI U.

Accepted students may receive financial assistance from the University toward the completion of their project. Students may also be eligible for partial funding to cover travel and accommodations at the conference.

For more information, visit http://cgiu.org. The early application deadline and travel assistance deadline is March 16th. The regular application deadline is April 23rd.
