About the The Regent Global-Pankaj Award to End Conflict (2026)

## The Regent Global-Pankaj Award to End Conflict ### Overview The Regent Global-Pankaj Award to End Conflict is a groundbreaking initiative by Regent Global and One Young World, committing $250,000 to empower young leaders actively working to prevent and resolve conflicts globally. In an era marked by increasing strife fueled by identity, ignorance, and inequality, this award seeks to recognize and accelerate the impact of individuals who are tackling conflict at its roots and fostering unity within and between divided communities. The award is particularly influenced by the personal experiences of Regent Global's founders, Professor Selva Pankaj and Dr. Tharshiny Pankaj, who arrived in the UK as refugees fleeing the Sri Lankan civil war and are deeply committed to peacebuilding. ### Benefits All finalists for The Pankaj Award to End Conflict will receive significant benefits designed to support their work and integrate them into a global network of changemakers. These include: funding ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 to further their initiatives aimed at ending conflict; a fully-funded scholarship to attend the One Young World Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, from 3 to 6 November 2026, covering economy flights to and from Cape Town, hotel accommodation in a private room from 2 to 7 November 2026, and all meals during conference days; and lifelong membership in the One Young World Ambassador Community, an extensive global network comprising over 20,000 members across more than 190 countries. This comprehensive package is designed to provide both financial and networking support to amplify the impact of these young leaders. ### Eligibility To be considered for The Pankaj Award to End Conflict, applicants must meet specific criteria. Prospective candidates must be between 18 and 35 years of age, though individuals older than 35 may be considered based on demonstrated personal impact and willingness to engage, while those under 18 at the time of the Summit (3-6 November 2026) are not eligible. Applicants must be leading a registered non-profit organization, social enterprise, or purpose-driven company, and hold direct decision-making authority within their respective organization or company. Furthermore, finalists must be available to participate in the One Young World Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, from 3 to 6 November 2026. ### Required Documents The provided markdown does not explicitly list "required documents" for the application. However, based on the assessment criteria, applicants will need to demonstrate: a track record of impact in resolving and/or preventing conflict at a local, national, or global level; a clear plan for how the awarded funds would be used to scale the scope and depth of their impact; evidence of collaboration with affected communities in the creation and delivery of their solution or initiative; and the sustainability of their proposed solution or initiative in preventing the re-emergence of conflict. It is highly probable that the application process will require detailed submissions outlining these aspects of their work and their organization. ### How to Apply The application process for The Pankaj Award to End Conflict involves multiple rounds. Round 1 applications are open from 11 April to 15 June. Following this, Round 2 applications will take place from 28 June to 03 July. Finalists will be selected and announced in August, with the ultimate award presentation occurring during the One Young World Summit from 03 to 06 November 2026. Prospective applicants should ensure they submit their applications within the specified deadlines for each round. Further details on the specific application portal or submission method are not provided in the current text, but would typically be found on the official scholarship page. ### Key Dates * **Opening date for applications:** 11 April 2026 * **Application deadline (Round 1):** 15 June 2026 * **Round 2 Applications:** 28 June - 03 July 2026 * **Award Selection:** August 2026 * **Award Presentation:** 03 - 06 November 2026 (during the One Young World Summit) * **One Young World Summit, Cape Town, South Africa:** 3 - 6 November 2026 * **Hotel Accommodation for Finalists:** 2 - 7 November 2026 (inclusive) ### Selection Criteria Applicants and their initiatives will undergo assessment based on several key criteria. The independent expert judging panel, to be announced at the 2026 Global Unity Dinner, will evaluate candidates on their demonstrated impact in providing solutions to end or prevent conflict at local, national, or regional levels, increasing awareness and understanding between communities through dialogue and education, preventing the outbreak and escalation of violence, empowering and protecting the rights of marginalized groups, and implementing sustainable peacebuilding measures. Specific assessment criteria include a proven track record of impact in conflict resolution, a clear plan for scaling impact with the awarded funds, collaboration with affected communities in solution delivery, and the sustainability of their initiative in preventing future conflict. ### Tips To maximize your chances of success, applicants should meticulously detail their track record of impact in conflict resolution and prevention, providing concrete examples and measurable outcomes. Clearly articulate your vision for how the funding will enable you to scale your initiative's scope and depth, emphasizing how your work demonstrably creates unity and addresses the roots of conflict. Highlight your collaborative efforts with affected communities, showcasing authentic engagement and shared ownership in developing and delivering solutions. Emphasize the long-term sustainability of your peacebuilding approaches to prevent the re-emergence of conflict. Ensure your application comprehensively addresses all eligibility and assessment criteria and is submitted well before the 15 June 2026 deadline for Round 1. ### Official Source For the most accurate and up-to-date information, including any additional requirements or changes to the application process, please refer to the official One Young World scholarship page.
