The Allianz CE MoveNow Scholarship 2026 is now accepting applications. It is for young leaders in Central and Eastern Europe who work in finance, tech, economics, math, or statistics. Not just any leaders – people who care about financial inclusion, sustainable finance, and making the system more resilient. The prize? A fully funded trip to the One Young World Summit 2026 in Cape Town, plus mentorship from Allianz.
The financial literacy gap in Central and Eastern Europe is widening. Tens of thousands of young people are at risk. Allianz wants to find 13 promising individuals aged 18 to 30 who have a track record in quantitative fields and a clear vision for societal impact. They particularly want applicants who have overcome financial or structural barriers and have not had much international exposure yet.
You must be a national or resident of one of eight focus countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, or Slovakia. No partisan or discriminatory applications. No family connections to politics. Just your ideas, your achievements, and your commitment to making finance work better for everyone.
