The Echidna Global Scholars Program 2026 in the USA is a fully funded fellowship designed for exceptional students and early-career professionals interested in advancing their skills and gaining international exposure. This program provides a unique platform to engage with global experts, participate in leadership and development initiatives, and gain hands-on experience in a collaborative environment.
Selected scholars will receive a total stipend of $26,500 USD to support living expenses throughout the pre-residency and residency periods. The program also covers visa-related costs, round-trip travel from the scholar’s home country, and single-occupancy housing during the residency. In addition, participants are provided with a limited health insurance plan to ensure their well-being throughout the program.
This opportunity allows participants to fully immerse themselves in the program without financial concerns, gain exposure to global best practices, and build a network of international peers. Applications for the Echidna Global Scholars Program 2026 must be submitted by December 15, 2025, offering a life-changing chance to study, live, and grow in the United States.
