Applications are now open for the 2012-2013 Sauvé Scholars Program inviting young leaders from across the globe that want to change the world. It is expected that the Sauvé Scholars are highly motivated independent individual thinkers in the age group of 23 to 31 having demonstrated skills as agents of change. During this nine-month program, the scholars get the opportunity to remain away from their studies, careers or other formal commitments, leading to reflection and self-realization personal as well as professional. The program brings 14 young men and women from around the world to McGill University in Montreal, Canada to embark on a rewarding personal and intellectual program combining reflection, study, travel and community engagement along with participation in conferences, seminars, cultural and sports events. Through a formal Memorandum of Understanding, Sauvé Scholars enjoy a unique status at McGill: they may audit courses at the undergraduate or post-graduate level (but not for credit) and may participate in the array of university activities and facilities for every taste and interest. Sauvé Scholars also get opportunity to engage and network through seminars with eminent journalists, political figures and leaders in business, academia and the arts. Focus Areas Each scholar is expected to undertake a new project in his or her chosen field for example, arts, advocacy, business, communications, government or research or complete one that is underway. Scholars are also invited to participate in some form of social or civic engagement for the benefit of the Montreal community.
