The Millennium Scholars Program is the main scholarship development program of the STAR Scholars Network. The program provides emerging and beginning scholars the opportunity to build the network and knowledge necessary to advance their academic careers.
The Millennium Scholars Program supports advanced doctoral students and early career scholars (or scholar-trainees) who identify with a low-, lower-middle, or upper-middle-income country, either by birth, cultural heritage, or current residence. The program supports participants in disseminating their research and scholarship to a global audience. It is designed around a three-part series of commitments that include professional development, peer support, and perspectives from leading academics.
