Caveat!
 
A stash! Be quick ! Its just two days left. In a bid to encourage student leaders, young entrepreneurs and inspirational young minds in the society, the Queen of England is wishes to give grants and awards. 

We’re looking to award exceptional young people who’ve proved themselves to be inspiring leaders in their communities. Many of whom will have overcome challenges in their lives to do so.

This unique, life-changing Award is comprised of a tailored package of training and mentoring. Winners will also receive a one-week residential programme in the UK, during which they will receive their Award from Her Majesty The Queen.

With this support, Award winners will be expected to continue and develop the amazing work they are already doing in their communities.

Eligible young people can apply or be nominated for an Award. The deadline for this year’s applications is 11th October 2014 at 06.00 GMT.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

Each application/nomination must meet the following criteria:

Applicants/nominees need to have proven experience of working to improve their communities locally, regionally or at a national level and be able to show evidence of their achievements.
Applicants/nominees must be aged between 18 and 28 before 16th December 2014. This ensures that all Award winners will be under the age of 30 by the time they finish the one-year programme.
Applicants/nominees must be citizens of a Commonwealth country or citizens of an Overseas Territory (of a Commonwealth Member).
Applicants/nominees need to demonstrate evidence of their leadership qualities.
All applicants/nominees need to be supported by a suitable referee.
Priority will be given to individuals who have overcome challenges to achieve their goals.
All applications/nominations will be considered based on the young person’s achievements to date as well as their potential and future ambition. Award winners will be shortlisted by an Advisory Panel made up of young people from across the Commonwealth and a Board of advisors representing the three partners. The shortlist for Award winners will then be presented to The Queen’s Young Leaders Programme Board, which contains members from all three partner organisations, for final selection and decision.
