Goodstart Fellowships for Alumni-led projects in Asia
The Goodstart Fellowship programme is a new initiative created to help Goodenough College Alumni make a real difference in their communities.
Goodenough College is delighted to announce the Goodstart Fellowship programme, a new initiative created and funded by one of our Alumni to enable other Goodenough Alumni to make a real difference in their communities. The College is proud to act as a bridge between this exciting programme and members of our Alumni community.
Proposals are now welcome for the first Goodstart Fellowship programme (2025-26), open to Goodenough Alumni living and working in Asia.
Do you have a plan that could make an improvement to health, education, the environment, economy or the overall well-being of your community? Perhaps you have the skills and connections to plan and deliver a project but need the funding to get it underway? If so, a Goodstart Fellowship may be what you need.
The programme’s goal is to help Goodenough Alumni to make a difference in their home countries, deploying the knowledge and ideas they gained while studying in London.
Goodstart Fellowships will support individual grantees financially for one to three years to enable them to develop and deliver their dream project to a point at which it becomes financially sustainable. Goodstart Fellows will receive grants of $20,000 to $50,000 annually from the programme’s creator, and they will also be assigned a coach to help hone their approach and impact objectives.
The programme aims to create a network of Goodstart Fellows who can share their experiences with current Goodenough Members and inspire them in turn to give back to their communities.
