GEF Scholars Network
A community for life
Funding a scholar is only the beginning. The Gabriel Ezenri Foundation stays with our recipients beyond the cheque — through mentorship, peer connection, and a community that grows with every cohort.
Every scholar, grantee, and award winner joins the GEF Scholars Network: a permanent community offering peer connection, mentorship, alumni events, and first access to new opportunities. Membership is for life.
What membership includes
-
Peer connection
A network of scholars across disciplines, institutions, and cohorts — people who understand the journey.
-
Mentorship
Every GEF scholar is matched with an academic or professional mentor in their field, for guidance through their programme and beyond.
-
Alumni events
Regular gatherings — virtual and in-person — to share research, celebrate milestones, and build lasting professional relationships.
-
First access
Scholars Network members hear about new funding opportunities, partnerships, and foundation programmes before anyone else.
