Kellogg’s Youn Impact Scholars are an elite group of Kellogg students and alumni who are passionate about social impact. Highly regarded for their intellect, passion and drive, these innovators draw upon their business skills to create positive change in the world. When one is named a Youn Impact Scholar, the honor does not include an award. It is, rather, a prized membership in a select community of alumni who connect, convene, inspire, and collaborate. The group began in 2014 and now includes 110 alumni members.

Each year we select 5 impact leaders and 5 emerging changemakers as new Scholars. Emerging changemakers are typically currently graduating students or recent graduates. Impact leaders are typically established professionals with many years of impactful experience. 

You could very well be one of them. Refer to the list of current Scholars for examples and inspiration, then fill out the form below. To be eligible, you must either be a Kellogg alumnus or a student graduating Kellogg by December of 2025. All applications will be considered and reviewed by a committee of active Youn Impact Scholars and Kellogg social impact stakeholders.

 Applications are due by midnight on 1/15/2025.
