The Clinton Global Initiative, a non-partisan initiative of the William J. Clinton Foundation, is accepting student applications for the Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) Meeting. 

CGI U is dedicated to the distinct potential that young people and higher education institutions have to make a difference on their campuses and around the world.  President Clinton hosted the second annual meeting of CGI U at the University of Texas at Austin.  Building on the success of CGI U 2008 in New Orleans, the meeting brought together young leaders, university presidents, and activists to address pressing global challenges in the areas of education, energy and climate change, global health, human rights and peace, and poverty alleviation. 

Attending CGI U is free and travel assistance is available for those who qualify.  CGI U actively seeks a range of students who have a variety of experiences, interests, talents, and goals. 

In order to attend, all students must make a commitment to a new, measurable plan for addressing a specific problem on their campuses or around the world.
