The Open Society Fellowship is offering a stipend of $80,000 or $100,000, depending on work experience, seniority, and current income to young people who have social projects. Applicants are asked to submit a letter of inquiry online by midnight (EDT) on July 15th.
The Open Society Fellowship was founded in 2008 to support individuals pursuing innovative and unconventional approaches to fundamental open society challenges. Open Society fellows produce work outputs of their own choosing, such as a book, journalistic or academic articles, art projects, a series of convenings, etc.
The fellowship program will help fellows obtain necessary visas and will cover all associated costs. In addition to the stipend, fellows will receive a project budget including expenses such as travel (including airfare and hotel), visa costs, part-time research assistance, conference fees and health insurance.
Project topics may include such areas as new and radical forms of ownership, governance, entrepreneurship, and financialization are needed to fight pervasive economic inequality.Once chosen, fellows will work on projects of their own design and passion. At the same time, they are expected to take advantage of the intellectual and logistical resources of the Open Society Foundations and contribute meaningfully to the Foundations’ thinking.
Main criteria
- Ideal fellows are specialists who can see beyond the parochialisms of their field and possess the tenacity to complete a project of exceptional merit;
- Proposals will be accepted from anywhere in the world, although demonstrable proficiency in spoken and written English is required;
- Applicants should possess and demonstrate a deep understanding of the major themes embedded within the proposition above and be willing to work in a cohort of fellows with diverse occupational, geographic, and ideological profiles;
- Successful applicants should be eager to exploit the many resources offered by the Open Society Foundations and be prepared to engage constructively with our global network.
This is a fellowship for individuals only; proposals from organizations or individuals acting on behalf of organizations will not be accepted.
