About the Application
In order to provide our applicants with an outlet to clearly and thoroughly explain their ventures and personal journey, the application consists of the following components, all of which must be completed.- Video –
The video is a mandatory portion of the application. If you do not
submit a video, your application will not be considered. Your video will
be the first opportunity we have to see your passion, knowledge, and
unique perspective. We hope you will be specific and succinct in
explaining your personal relationship to your work (why you do what you
do), the steps you have made towards change (what your venture does),
and what a successful future looks like for your venture.
We understand that there are varying degrees of technology access around the world. Whether filmed on a camera phone, laptop, or something more high-tech, all applicants will be given equal consideration regardless of video quality. We prefer a lower-quality video that directly addresses our questions to a professionally-produced video that does not adequately answer our questions. We are looking for authenticity. If you need help uploading your video or accessing the embed code, visit this guide. - Narrative Application – Within this section you will provide us with details that support what we learned in the video. Please remember to thoroughly describe your work in a way that an outsider with no knowledge of the issue you are addressing would understand. Help us understand the specific programs, projects, and activities that your venture offers. We are interested in your long-term vision, but it is important for us to understand your current activities. You must provide all requested information within the narrative application.
- References – You will be asked to enter the contact information for two references who can discuss your eligibility for the fellowship.
- Supporting Documents – You will have the opportunity to submit up to three additional documents that may provide judges with a better understanding of your project.
