Fifteen students from six UMB schools have been selected as 2026 Provost's Global Scholars. The program was created to help UMB students engage in a critical analysis of complex, interdependent global systems and legacies and their implications for people's lives and the Earth's sustainability. Students design their own experience and are supported by a $2,000 stipend.
