🎉 Welcoming our 2026 Scholars

Behind every project is a scholar who has made a deliberate decision to step beyond what they already know, to test their thinking in new environments, and to return with something that holds value beyond themselves.

🎉 This year, we are welcoming two individuals whose work reflects that commitment - Dr Ella Hartshorn and Sam Bigland

Our 2026 Scholars have unique projects that will be sure to amplify them in their fields. For now, here are the project titles:

📚 Dr Ella Hartshorn will be exploring:
Lessons from the United States: Supporting the LGBTQ+ community in times of increasing socio-political stress.

📚 Sam Bigland will be exploring:
Active Defence: Gamifying Digital Safety for the Next Generation.

Over the coming week, we will be sharing more about each project, the thinking behind it, and the direction each scholar is taking.

👏 A huge congratulations to Ella and Sam!

🤝 This is where the work begins to take shape.

We’ve hit the ground running in 2026, beginning the year with our first Board of Trustees meeting.

As we look ahead, we’re focused on strengthening the scholarship experience for both future scholars and our alumni. That means paying close attention to how the world is changing and ensuring the scholarship continues to offer meaningful opportunity and long term impact.

Our commitment is to stay ahead of the curve, so we can better support the leaders who will shape what comes next.
