The E3 Global Scholarship Program is a unique opportunity to learn from the Australian experience in delivering entrepreneurial education in a school setting.

The Entrepreneurial Education Exchange (E3) was launched in 2022 by Australian not-for-profit social enterprise, Young Change Agents in partnership with Australian schools.

Over the last 2.5 years we have held monthly meetups, two national “unconferences” and have released our first research report, “Let’s co-create this: a vision for entrepreneurial education”.

In 2024, we welcome international schools to join E3 as part of a Global Scholarship Program designed in partnership with Australian educators.

These scholarships are worth over US$10,000 in total value per school and aim to build capacity of schools worldwide through professional development, coaching & mentoring, school connections and a local immersion (in Australia).

As part of the E3 Global Scholarship, you will pilot one of Young Change Agents’ programs in your school setting and contribute to a global research piece.

Entrepreneurial education for all

Preparing our children for the future knows no international boundaries.
