Prince Albert Foundation funds university scolarships to cultivate sustainable leaders of tomorrow

Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation has entered into a new collaboration with Spain’s IE University, one of the first carbon neutral universities in Europe, to empower global leaders in sustainability.

The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, in collaboration with IE University, a popular choice amongst students from Monaco to continue their studies, has announced a scholarship program aimed at nurturing the next generation of environmental and social changemakers.

Under this new collaboration, two scholarships will be offered annually for students accepted into full-time Master’s programs at IE University, covering up to 65% of tuition expenses.

The initiative aims to foster innovation and entrepreneurial spirit among young individuals eager to make an impact in sustainability, equality, and environmental conservation.

Candidates are expected to have an outstanding academic record and a demonstrated dedication to building a greener, more equitable world. Preference is given to applicants who can show financial need or who hail from developing countries, as part of the program’s inclusivity focus and its aim to empower voices from varied backgrounds.

The selection committee is composed of members from the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, IE Foundation, and IE Sustainability Office. Recipients of the scholarship join the prestigious IE Foundation Fellows Program, enhancing their educational experience and professional connections.

IE University is one of the first ‘carbon neutral’ universities in Europe, and has significantly reduced its carbon footprint, cutting scope 1 and 2 CO2 equivalent emissions by 50% per square meter of campus.

“The continuous effort and commitment inside and out of the classroom from each one of our community members – our professors, staff, and over 8,000 students from more than 140 countries – has been and will continue to be key,” said Isabela del Alcázar, Global Head of Sustainability at IE University.
