Get Funded, Go Global: Your Weekly Guide to Fully Funded Opportunities for Young Go-Getters

Hey there, changemakers!

Happy new week!

A friend recently asked me why I do this newsletter with so much heart, and I had to smile. The truth is, I know exactly what it feels like to finally hear that one “yes” after countless rejections.

I’ll never forget the moment in 2019 when I got my first fully funded opportunity from the Government of Turkey. I can still feel the weight lifting off my shoulders, the mix of shock and pure joy as I boarded that plane. It was the first time someone believed in my dreams enough to back them. That moment changed me — not just my career, but my confidence, my hope. And it’s why I pour so much into this newsletter, sharing every opportunity I can. Because I know there’s someone out there right now, waiting for that one chance, just like I was.

Rejections will come, but giving up is not an option. Keep pushing, keep applying, and remember: your breakthrough could be just around the corner. Here’s your chance to get funded and go global!
