Global Goals Scholarship Summary
The University Network believes that all students and educators should be aware of the Sustainable Development Goals, and thus have created this scholarship.

In September of 2015, the member states of the United Nations agreed upon a 15 year blueprint to tackle the world’s most troubling problems in an effort to end poverty, fight inequality, and reverse climate change.
