Marking its 25th anniversary, WYCUP will provide 2026 scholarship recipients with a unique chance not only to attend WCUC 2026 in Sydney but also to join a full day dedicated to emerging leaders. On July 19, WYCUP and Customer Owned Banking Association (COBA) will co-host the Emerging Leaders’ Summit, followed by a reception bringing together executives, innovators and young changemakers under 40 from more than 70 countries.

WYCUP scholarships cover transportation, lodging and registration expenses, granting access to exclusive gatherings, global networking and professional growth opportunities.

This program offers young professionals a remarkable platform to influence the future of cooperative finance and build meaningful international connections.

The application deadline for both programs is January 30, 2026.
