About the Organization
Wells Mountain Initiative (WMI), fosters social change at the local level by building a global network of grassroots leaders who are catalyzing community transformation across 54 developing countries.
We support young people who have proved to be unstoppable in the face of adversity and are deeply committed to leading change in their community. We fund their undergraduate studies in high-need sectors, help them lead social service projects during their academic career and stand alongside them to address any challenges, so that they successfully complete their studies.
Post-graduation, we provide life-long support, which includes professional development and social entrepreneurship training, community development grants to start and grow their own community projects and businesses, regular in-person conferences and online webinars and support for in-country scholar-led fellowships.
Through our efforts, we are fostering a global community of grassroots leaders and social entrepreneurs who are tackling issues such as gender inequity, educational access, health disparities and climate change through a locally-rooted and community-driven approach, resulting in more just and sustainable solutions.
About the Scholarship
WMI provides educational scholarships to highly motivated and community-minded young people, with little to no financial resources, pursuing undergraduate degrees in high-need sectors.
We fund WMI Scholars’ undergraduate education, offer skill-building opportunities and provide on-going career counseling to ensure that our scholars successfully complete their studies.

Through intensive community service projects, WMI Scholars garner hands-on leadership development alongside their academic career.
